Patient's question:
My home is in the countryside. When the child wasn't paying attention, he got on the electric scooter. We adults didn't notice, and as a result, it started moving. It went into a ditch. Now he's quite swollen and is also vomiting. Could you please tell me if the child's condition is serious?Doctor's answer:
Hello, in your situation, it is recommended that you take your child for an X-ray first. For now, it is advised that your child stay in bed and avoid movement. If the fracture heals, you can then start using crutches for movement and gradually recover. It will take about 3 months. We should not be in a hurry. Your child may have nightmares and fear, so adults should also spend more time with them. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
