11 Month Baby, Pain In Wrist, Almost Had A Fall But Caught Before Hitting Floor. Anything To Worry?
My 11 month old fell from the bed, and my husband was able to catch her before she actually hit the floor. However, She hit her wrist on the way down, and it seems to be bothering her when she bends it up. We are able to move it left and right, and down, and in a circular motion, but it hurts her when it gets moved up. Is there anything I can do to help her with this? I want to take her to get checked but not sure if its serious enough, or if im just panicing over what might just be a bruise.

Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
If there is swelling and restriction of movements then get her examined once. A x ray if required will rule out any bone injury.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
