Question
In addition to the measures already taken, are there any other precautions to be aware of when caring for a child at home after a fracture?
Answer
In the first 3 to 7 days after a fracture, the wound may become swollen and painful, but these symptoms will gradually improve. To alleviate pain, elevate the affected limb and take painkillers as prescribed. At the same time, pay attention to the color of the toes and any regional pain, and if there are no abnormalities, follow up as recommended by the doctor. For children who are prone to motion sickness, consider alternative modes of transportation or use motion sickness medication to relieve discomfort.
