My 11yo son hurt his thumb today falling off his bike. Ive been in two minds all day as to whether to take him to a & e. It is quite swollen, but doesn't seem massively painful. Apart from the fact he can't use any force with it, he doesn't seem that bothered - he can pick things up with it lightly iyswim (e,g. a cup, can etc), but couldn't squeeze the shower gel bottle. As the days gone on, he's got most of the movement in it back, and says it feels a lot better, but its still swollen.
Not sure whether to go to minor injuries tomorrow or not. DH thinks its fine, and just a bit bruised - Although he is famously blase about this sort of thing.
What do you think?
