A few hours ago my four year old DD fell off a three foot high wall. It wasn't a very dramatic fall and she landed on her legs but they then buckled. She cried a lot and said her leg hurt but it didn't swell up. Now it's several hours later and she still won't walk on it, says it hurts and keeps crying but it's still not swollen or bruised.
Should I take her for a x-Ray or give her calpol and put her to bed? I am home alone with three children so if we go to A&E I have to take all of them. Added complication is that tomorrow lunchtime DH and I are flying to Venice for 48 hours without the kids so A&E in the morning is almost harder than now.
Is it likely to be broken if it's not bruised, marked or remotely swollen?
