Question
The child fell from the second floor, resulting in a thoracic spine fracture from the fifth to the seventh vertebrae. The sixth vertebra compressed the nerve, causing numbness in the lower body and inability to control bladder and bowel movements. The child had surgery two days ago. What should be done in this situation, and can they fully recover?
Answer
Hello, based on your description, the situation seems severe with a complete paralysis caused by the thoracic spine fracture. The surgery was timely, and I recommend focusing on inpatient treatment. The extent of full recovery will depend on close observation, and there should be a certain level of psychological preparation.
