What should I do if my child twisted their arm while turning over?

Patient's question:

Okay, here is the translation following your instructions:
Gave the child a twist with her arm; it wasn't a pulled arm, just a twist lying there. Now she's not lift her arm anymore. She can hold things with her hand, but when I help lift her arm, she doesn't cry, she just doesn't lift it herself. Could it be a fracture? If it's a fracture, will it hurt very much if she moves it?

Doctor's answer:

According to your description, the child twisted their arm while turning over. Now the child cannot lift their arm, but they can hold things. I suggest taking the child to the orthopedics department for a follow-up examination, taking X-rays of the affected limb for a thorough check, and treating based on the results of the thorough examination.
This is the advice for the question "What should I do if my child twisted their arm while turning over?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
