How bad limping before you go to A & with a 3yo?

Dd2 has hurt her leg when going down a slide.

She is limping and trying not to put weight on it. Less than 5 mins walking has her in tears but not screaming.

A & or wait and see? WWYD?

Forget about what you think happened - because then you concentrate on the cause not the effect. Look at the effect - you have a toddler who won't weight bear. That is de facto an emergency. Take her this afternoon.
An infection in her joints will have the same initial appearence as a minor bump but be far more serious and will get worse. This is why children who won't weight bear should ALWAYS be taken straight to A&E.

Good plan. I'm sure you'll be home in a few hours but always, always better safe then sorry.

Hopefully a nothing, fingers crossed
