Question

A one-year-and-ten-month-old child fell and injured their knee on October 25th. Although an X-ray showed no fracture, they still cannot walk or stand. Is it possible that the nerve has been injured? Do they need treatment? Thank you.

Answer

Based on your description, if the child has no fracture, it is recommended to further examine for meniscus or ligament injuries. If these are not found, it is possible that the child is still experiencing pain or fear of further injury. In this case, you can try cold compresses, use a brace to protect the knee, and closely monitor the changes in the injury. If the situation does not improve, it is advisable to seek medical attention for further examination and treatment.
