Question

The wrist is painful due to a fall, can only be slightly moved, and the fingers cannot be straightened. The wrist lost sensation immediately after the fall, making it impossible to move, although it can be slightly moved later but feels extremely painful, and the wrist swells the next day.

Answer

Dear parents, hello. For a one-year-old baby, if there is improvement in wrist swelling after a fall but the fingers cannot be straightened, it may be due to nerve damage or prolonged inactivity. It is recommended that you provide localized care for your baby using warm water compresses. First, an X-ray examination should be conducted to ensure there are no bone obstructions, and then consider physical therapy massage treatment.
