How Long Should An Air Cast Prescribed For A Foot Injury Be Worn?
My 10 yo son injured his foot playing soccer. Couldn t walk on it the next morning. Took him to the clinic where they took an X-ray -didn t see any fractures. Placed a temporary cast in his foot for one week-said that fractures in children sometimes don t appear for a couple of weeks. After one week he was given an air cast. Should he be wearing it the whole time?

Hi,
It can be removed in two to three weeks. You can take analgesics for pain.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
