Can I Use Ace Bandage Instead Of Soft Cast?
Hello. My two year old son fractured his wrist and needed a soft cast. the cast is supposed to he removed in 3 days and he got a stomach bug and just threw up all over it. Would it be alright to remove it 3 days early? If I do, should I wrap it with an ace bandage to keep it protected?
