Suggest Treatment For Forearm Fracture In A Child
My 4-year-old grandson broke his forearm on Saturday. He was given Lortab for pain. We gave it to him last night around 8:00, thinking it would ease his discomfort and help him to sleep. He was wired and didn t go to sleep until 11:30 p.m. His mother gave him some again today and found she had a wild child. It is very hard to keep him still with his arm elevated and iced like instructed. I suspect the culprit is the Lortab. Am I right?

Hi,
It seems that he might be having Collece's fracture and might require urgent consultation with orthopedic surgeon.
He might require correction of fracture and plaster.
If there is a fracture then pain relieving medicine will have less effect.
Ok and take care.
