My son 2yrs 11 months, his left hand elbow got injured on thursday night after falling down from 2 feet height table. He had little swelling on elbow. We visit pediatric as per his suggestion we waited for 3 days still swelling is not reduced. So we done xray. Currently he is on IMOL Syrup 5ml 3 times. He is playing normally and not complaining pain but i can see he is not able to put pressure on his left hand. Please suggest me what to do.

Please visit a orthopaedician and get clinical assessment done and get guided. Because x-rays are usually normal in a child and x-ray interpretation depends on clinical assessment.
