But she is refusing to eat and drink :( The doctor recommended cold drinks, ice cream, lollies, ice cubes etc - we have tried but because i think it initially feels worse she is flatly refusing. I have managed (somehow) to persuade her to take her medication (paracetemol and ibruprofen) but that is literally all she has had to eat and drink since about 3 yesterday. Maybe one or two sips of water but thats it. I am just making her some "baby" food which she has agreed to try - she is 7. Just now she is only using sign language and playing on it a little bit (but she must be in agony i know) so hoping that the baby food fuss will pander to her a bit.
Has anyone else been through this? How long will it be so painful? The doctor reckoned it could take a week to heal
Any advice - apart from ice and cold stuff, because at the moment, she is refusing?
I just don't know what to do - she did sleep well last night which was something, and slept in this morning after some stories in mummy and daddy's bed.
So upset for her, and so angry with soft play centre - not that it was their fault per se, but they offered no assistance whatsoever, another customer asked for a ice pole to put on it - and the guy said did i want him to look at it, i asked if he was first aid trained he said no 
he just said, oh theres a doctor over the road
I had to wait for my husband to come and get me to take me to the minor injuries (i dont drive and was 10 miles away). Then a 30 mile drive to the hospital to see the "maxfacs" guy, who was just lovely to be fair and reassured me. Poor little mite - i dont even know if she will be well enough for school on wednesday and of course i dont want her to miss her first day in her new class. :(
