Question
How to deal with a baby’s left arm sprain?
Answer
If a baby has a sprain in their left arm, it’s important to first ensure rest and to bring them to the hospital as soon as possible for an orthopedic doctor to realign the joint. If the pain is not severe, it may be a soft tissue injury, and it’s advisable to avoid vigorous movement and massage. If there are any cuts or bleeding on the skin, a tetanus toxoid injection is required. After 48 hours, heat therapy can be used to alleviate pain. Keep the wound clean and dry to prevent infection.
