Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Limping indicates definite pain, but we need not treat it unless it is more than 48-72 hours duration or unless there is fever or redness in the local area or swelling. If it is still persisting after 3 days then have a pediatric review please.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
