DD aged 2 had sudden onset limping this afternoon, she doesn't appear to be in any pain but the limping is really quite pronounced. I rang NHS Direct and they have said that the limping combined with the cold she had last week lead them to think it is irritable hip which will go away by itself with rest. Being the Google-monster that I am, I have obviously looked this up and nearly everywhere (including old threads on here) say that you should go to A&E to rule out any other cause of sudden limping. So, my question (finally!!) is would I be wasting the time of A&E/Minor Injuries unit to go and get her double checked?
By the way, before you ask, she is indeed my PFB so if you think I am over-reacting, please say
