Patient's question:
On August 7th, my wife experienced shoulder dystocia during childbirth, which resulted in my daughter's clavicle fracture and grade II brachial plexus nerve injury. My daughter cannot lift her arm, but her shoulder and hand can move and grasp. When she was first born, the doctor said it was due to edema and that it would improve once the swelling subsided. Over more than ten days have passed, but there has been no significant improvement.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the best treatment for a fracture is to realign and fix it, minimize movement, and avoid improper force that could cause the fracture to shift. Additionally, pay attention to calcium supplementation, have regular X-ray check-ups, and focus on increasing nutrition, functional exercises, and gradual recovery. Wishing you a speedy recovery. Children have weaker immune systems, making them more prone to pediatric neurological issues. For parents, don't panic—should promptly take their children to a specialized hospital for examination and treatment. Also, ensure regular check-ups for the child and follow the doctor's guidance for symptomatic treatment.
