dd fell on her outstretched hand at school yesterday, we ended up at the childrens last night and they xray, they said they couldnt see a fracture but oculd see a fat pad which could indicate a fracture or a sprain, she has her arm up in a collar an cuff sling. We are going back in a week, I presume to asses how it is. She has been kept dosed up on calpol but seems fine. yesterday she didnt seem in too much pain, her teachers, the childminder and dh thought she was ok it was onlyy later on that it became so painful.
It is still very painful today. My quesstion is how long is it acceptable to keep her dosed up on calpol and at what point should we take her back in if it is still getting no better?
