Pulled arm
My son pulled his arm on Monday afternoon , he was in a lot of pain yesterday and went to the doctors where they told me to give him ibuprofen to ease the pain and take him to hospital today if he still has pain. He seems okay today moving it and no pain. Is it worth taking him to A&E to get it checked still for possible fracture? He's 4years old. Thank you.

Don’t worry it looks like he had pulled elbow where head radius subluxate through annular ligament. With painkiller medication ;muscle around get bit relaxed and it got reduced of it’s own There’s No needs to rush to ER ,this type of incident may repeat in future till he is over 6 years so be careful
