Question
A one-and-a-half-year-old child fell at home and is walking with a limp. They often fall, but this is different. Children are unlikely to say if they’re in pain, and when asked, they deny it. Is it serious?
Answer
The situation you described, a one-and-a-half-year-old child falling at home and walking with a limp, could be related to ankle or knee joint injuries. Alternatively, it might be due to regional muscle or ligament damage. It’s advisable to take the child to a regular three-level A or above hospital’s orthopedic department for an examination.
