Question
The child got into a gang fight at school and now has a scar on the face. We are worried that there might be injuries in other areas. However, since the child is young, their ability to express themselves is limited. We would like to ask how to carefully examine the child’s injuries in this situation?
Answer
Based on your description, since the child is still quite young, it is unlikely that the injuries from the gang fight would be severe. If the child is currently not showing any obvious discomfort, there should be no major issues. If you are still concerned, it is advisable to take the child to the hospital for a check-up. During the examination, if there is no obvious swelling, movement impairment, or pain in the limbs, the likelihood of fractures is relatively low. It is recommended to register with the surgery department first, allowing the doctor to conduct a simple health check for the child and then decide whether further detailed examinations are necessary based on the results of the check-up. There is no need to rush into detailed examinations in the absence of clear symptoms. I hope this explanation helps you.
