My daughter (3) pulled her 13" tv over on her foot. It wasn't high up--maybe 3' high. Bruised but she has been walking on. She also says it doesnt hurt but Im a little worried about it. She is a diva and cries over everything that hurts her. So I'm assuming she's not lying about having no pain. Should I take her to urgent care? Her Doctor is SUPER busy with colds and stuff and can't see her anytime soon. Please help and thanks!
I would give it a day. If she is not in pain and walking normally I think it is highly unlikely that it is fractured.
I've had a few broken bones. It was excruciating.
Kids are resilient. If she's fine, give it some time. A bruise might form but it's not urgent if she's not bawling. A broken anything would hurt like heck. I personally don't want my kids in a doctor's office with sick children so I would avoid the doctor's office like the plague. Keep an eye on her and if she starts limping then try the Urgent Care if you have one nearby. I'm lucky that Kaiser has one so I don't have to take her to ER (more sick people and people who may really need ER services).
I would take her to an urgent care and then find another doctor. Good luck!
i would take give it a day to see how she acts. it might take a bit for the pain to settle in. that could easily fracture a foot.
