Hi
Welcome to healthcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that your 2 year daughter got injury to her wrist by fall on outstretched hand. There is no symptoms except swelling. It is most likely soft tissue injury but you can get her x ray done to exclude fracture. Treatment of it is analgesic such as ibuprofen. Vitamin B and C is helpful in recovery. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us . I will be happy to help you.
