Yesterday 5 yr old DD tripped at soft play and fell onto her hands and knees. She cried and then wanted to go home but didn't seem actually injured. She was more quiet than usual all afternoon and I noticed that she was favouring her other hand more. There doesn't appear to be any swelling etc. She hadn't slept well the night before so difficult to know if she was just tired or in pain. I did give her some calpol before bed but that was the only time she said it was sore. Overnight I've kept an eye on her, she moves about in bed a lot but even though she's asleep when she turns over she's deliberately not putting weight on this wrist. She's just woken up and hasn't actually mentioned it but is using her non dominant hand instead.
I'm not sure what to do (and she's my third so you'd think I'd have it sussed by now)! We don't have a minor injuries unit so it's either a&e although it doesn't seem bad enough for that or the gp who can't see inside it. Of course I could just leave it and see how it goes but I'm not sure if I should do that as she's not really using it. Hmm what would you do?
