What Type Of Immediate Aid Is Recommended For Broken Thumb?

I think my son has broken his thumb (with a little help from his brother, grrr). Our local hospital doesn t do x-rays at this time of night. So I m not sure if it is worth taking him to the emergency room to wait around for hours. Would they splint it without an x-Ray until I can take him in tomorrow?

Welcome to HCM. first of all don't panic. Nothing much damage will happen if you meet the orthopedic tomorrow morning. Just give him Pain killers right now for pain.
