Question

Slight limping

Asked for Female, 0 Years

Hi My son got injured while playing on the roof on 5th july evening. There was no bruise but he started limping slightly. I have applied dichlorophenac gel 3- 4 times on that area. Along with that mustard oil application as well. But today is 11th july he is still limping slightly. There is no pain, swelling redness on that area. He is walking running as well but i can see there is some prob with his right leg. He is not running n walking like he earlier used to do. What should be done in this case??

There is a possibility of soft tissue injury in the leg which might be causing the pain and trouble while walking. Was there any swelling after injury.

Next Steps

You can apply a crepe bandage for support, give him analgesic and anti inflammatory medicine, start ice fomentation, ask him to avoid standing and running for a long time.

Health Tips

If the problem still persists, then it would be better to go for one x ray of the leg and knee to rule out any bony injury.
