Patient's question:
The child got into a group fight at school and saw other children with injuries. Worried that the child might have injuries elsewhere, but because the child is young, they may not be able to express it well. What kind of detailed examination should be done at the hospital in this situation? What kind of help is needed: How to conduct a thorough examination?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, the child is still young. If a child gets into a group fight, minor external injuries are generally not serious. If the child doesn't show any obvious discomfort now, it's usually not a big problem. If you're still not (not at ease), you can take them to the hospital for a check-up.If the child's limbs don't show obvious swelling, movement problems, or pain, it's unlikely that there are fractures. I recommend that the child be seen by a surgeon at the hospital for a follow-up. First, let the doctor give the child a simple health check. Then, based on the results of the health check, determine if further detailed examinations are needed. Don't rush to have the child undergo detailed examinations. I hope my explanation helps you.
