Child Fell On His Elbow And Having Pain While Touching Or Bending

My 4yr old son fell on his elbow and it is not bruised or swollen but he cries if we touch it or try to bend it... even if I try catching him off guard and he still cries.. he finally fell asleep so I hope he is ok. I will try moving it while he's asleep and see if he reacts

Hi
Welcome to Healthcare-Magic
Greetings of the day

That's great , he is sleeping and comfortable.
When he gets up if you notice any of the following then would suggest to consult the doctor to rule out fracture/subluxation
1. Painful passive movements
2. Development of swelling
3. If you notice deformity

Taking a X Ray will help rule out the possibility of fracture/subluxation instead of risking missing it.

In case you need any further assistance, will be glad to assist you.

Wishing you happy and healthy life

Take Care
