Patient's question:
Symptoms at 6 months: The little one's left arm bend hurts. Onset time and cause: Today during lunch, the little one and her dad were playing on a seesaw. Suddenly, she cried saying her arm hurts. I touched it, and it wasn't the place where the arm connects to the shoulder that hurts, but the bend of the arm. Please ask the doctor what we should do for treatment. Treatment status: Desired help: How can we prevent the baby from hurting?Doctor's answer:
Hello. Based on the situation you described, it is likely an acute shoulder joint strain. First, it is important to rest. It is recommended to visit the orthopedics department of a hospital and see a doctor for reduction. If it is not significant, it indicates a soft tissue injury. Avoid strenuous exercise and massage. If there is significant skin abrasion and bleeding, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a tetanus antitoxin injection. It is advisable to reduce the activity of the injured limb in children. After 48 hours, you can use heat therapy. Each session should last 15-20 minutes, 2-3 times a day. For scalp injuries, use povidone-iodine for disinfection. Keep the wound clean and dry to avoid skin infection.
