Suggest Remedy For Pelvic Pain Post Injury
My 11 year old son was skateboarding yesterday and he got his inner thigh by his pelvis and its all bruised and he is complaining that it hurts him really bad. I want to know if i should take him to the hospital to get it looked at tonight or if I should wait until the morning to call his doctor to make an appointment for tomorrow?

Hi,
I'm sorry to hear that your son is experiencing pelvic pain. Here are some suggestions that may help alleviate his discomfort:
* Rest: Encourage your son to rest and avoid any physical activities that may exacerbate his pain.
* Ice: Apply an ice pack or a bag of frozen vegetables wrapped in a towel to the affected area for 15-20 minutes at a time, several times a day. This can help reduce inflammation and pain.
* Pain relief: Over-the-counter pain relief medication such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen may help to alleviate the pain. Follow the recommended dosage and consult with a healthcare professional if you have any concerns.
* See a doctor: If the pain persists, gets worse, or if there is swelling, it's best to have your son examined by a healthcare professional. They can determine if there is a more serious injury and provide appropriate treatment.
If your son's pain is severe, if he is having trouble walking, or if there is any indication of a more serious injury, it's best to seek immediate medical attention. You can also call your doctor's office for advice on whether to go to the hospital or wait until the morning to make an appointment.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
