Suggest Treatment For Swollen And Painful Shoulder

Hi My daughter 4 yrs old, fell today and she got the hurt on her shoulder. We saw some swollen on her shoulder. We rushed to the emergency and got her xray done. In her xray it shows the bent on her collarbone. We went with that xray to the orthopaedic who says that we cannot do the plaster and neither the surgery to straightening the bone. He gave the sling to put and told me that the bone will get straight automatically. I am very worried as I do not have the complete faith on the doctors here. I need to cross check wether the suggestion he gave is correct. Or do I need to show her to some other doctor?

Hi
Welcome to healhcaremagic
After going through your query I concluded that your 4 years old daughter got fracture clavicle with some banding. Treatment of it a sling and analgesic such as ibuprofen. It does not require any plaster or surgery. The bend will automatically remodel in 2 Years. No need to worry about it. Your doctor is right. You can discuss with your doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any clarification then please don't hesitate to write to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.
Wishing you a good health. Take care.
