Patient's question:
On December 4, 2018, the child was playing on the bed and accidentally fell off, resulting in a left shoulder fracture. They went to the hospital for X-rays, and the doctor said there were no major issues. No medication or immobilization was provided. It has been about a week, and the child has been complaining of pain. They are worried that not being immobilized might interfere with bone growth.Doctor's answer:
Based on your description of your baby's symptoms, it seems that your baby has suffered a clavicle fracture after falling off the bed. I'm not sure how severe the fracture is. This situation should be immobilized. Can you upload the X-rays you took? I'll take a look and get back to you. However, if your baby continues to cry in pain, I recommend taking them to the hospital for a follow-up examination, taking an X-ray to see if there are any changes in the fracture. Your baby heals quickly, so don't worry.
