What should I do if a three-month-old baby is pressed on the knee area by a child?

Patient's question:

2 weeks 3 months a girl playing on a trampoline had her right leg knee area pressed by a child. There is no redness, swelling, or bruising. When lying flat, she can bend her knee normally, and light pressure doesn't cause any pain. However, her right leg cannot bear weight or walk properly. Which part is injured—bone, ligament strain, soft tissue injury, or muscle damage?

Doctor's answer:

It is likely a ligament strain because there is no redness or swelling in the skin, subcutaneous fat, or muscles, which indicates no edema. Rest the child's injured leg for a period of time and do not let them engage in forced movement. If necessary, you can go to the hospital for a check-up and have a doctor make a diagnosis. Based on the text description alone, it is not possible to fully understand the situation.
