Should i consult a doctor as my daughter fell off from her bed?
Patient: my 8 year old daughter fell off her bed and her shin has a very large bump on it.  She has stopped crying but says that is still hurting very much.  She wont stand on it.  And when i was feeling around her leg she says pressure starts hurting about an inch and a half away from the bump.  also the bruise appears to be almost grey...  any advice? Doctor: HiWelcome to the HCMI have gone through your question and it seems that your daughter has suffered a severe musculoskeletal injury most likely a fracture. You should immediately take her to an orthopedic surgeon for proper clinical examination and management accordingly. They may advice you for the X Ray leg to look for injury or fracture.I would recommend you to splint the part by a board to help in transportation to hospital.You may give her acetaminophen or ibuprofen tablet for pain relief.Hopefully this will help you. I would be happy to help you out in any future health related questions.Take care
