Question
The child is three years old and fell from the bed, hitting their elbow joint. The X-ray showed no abnormalities. The child can raise and bend their arm quickly, but cannot straighten it. There is obvious swelling. How should it be handled?
Answer
Based on the description, the child may have soft tissue damage or a minor fracture. It is recommended to rest, avoid exertion and cold exposure, and observe their movement. Allow the child to move their elbow joint freely. If there is no improvement, they should visit a major hospital for a follow-up examination as soon as possible.
