Patient's question:
Symptoms at 6 months: The little one's left arm bend is painful. 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's not the place where the arm connects to the shoulder that hurts, but the bend of the arm. What should we do? Treatment situation: 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's important to rest. It is recommended to go to the orthopedics department of a hospital to see a doctor for reduction. If it is not significant, it indicates a soft tissue injury. Avoid strenuous exercise and avoid massage. If there is significant skin abrasion and bleeding, it is necessary to go to the hospital for a tetanus antitoxin injection. It is recommended to reduce the activity of the injured limb in children. After 48 hours, you can use heat therapy. Each session lasts for 15-20 minutes, 2-3 times a day. For scalp trauma, use povidone-iodine for disinfection. Keep the wound clean and dry to avoid skin infection.
