DS twisted ankle - school?

[IHeartKingThistle]

Sorry for stupid question but this hasn't happened before and I'm full of cold so my brain is a bit fuzzy!

DS went over on his ankle at football last night. He played the rest of the match but was hobbling when he got home. This morning he says it really hurts and isn't putting weight on it. It's not swollen at all. He's 9. No history of exaggeration to get out of school!

Do I send him and see how he goes, or try to get a GP appointment?

I’d send him - the key point for me was that he finished the match.

That's what DH said! He's strapped it up for him so think I'll see how he goes at school.

My ten yr old is the same this morning. Nhs page says give it two days of ice and mostly rest and then it should be getting better. Im sending mine in.
