Hi,I am Dr. Amitkumar Sharma (Internal Medicine Specialist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 11 year old daughter banged her elbow against the desk last night causing pain in the elbow all night and this morning. I noticed it was slightly swollen. What is the best cause of action? She has iced it, under a lot of duress! I am about to give her Neurofen.
Hi, Thanks for choosing healthcaremagic. Your daughters elbow injury may be just an external injury or there may be a fracture . So first thing is to get one xray done. Meanwhile you can give a painkiller what you use routinely and apply some hot fomentation. Pl. consult an orthopedic surgoen at the earliest if the pain and swelling does not subside in one or two days. take care.
