my 5 month old was laying on her belly and her 6 yr old sister was ';helping'; me when she wasnt suppossed to she flipped her from her belly to back and her arm got caught
she wouldnt stop crying the arm was limp for 15 minutes I called her dr. he said to give her tylenol
that it is very hard to break a babies arm.
he said give her tylenol every 4 hours and tomorrow bring her in if she is still uncomfortable.
has this happend before to anybody.MOms please help dr said not to take her to emergency room to wait until tomorrow. any advice? shoulder/arm?
thats a tough one as a mom i know that you want to do all you can for your baby. if she popped her shoulder, tore a muscle or even broke the shoulder there is not a whole lot that can be done for it. but there is a chance that it's something worse and so i would recommend that if it starts swelling or the child still expresses pain in the area (try touching the shoulder/arm and if the baby cries or tries to pull the limb away then it still hurts) take the baby to an URGENT CARE CENTER not an emergency roomMOms please help dr said not to take her to emergency room to wait until tomorrow. any advice? shoulder/arm?
This is your child, you know her better than your doctor does. If she was screaming in pain and her arm was limp she should be seen immediately at the ER or urgent care (or A%26amp;E if you are in the UK). Sorry but as a mother myself, I find it difficult to believe that a doctor would give you such ridiculous advice, replace him immediately if you can! Meanwhile since your daughter cannot tell you how much pain she is in, you need to get her properly examined. I truly hope it turns out okay! Good luck!
If your baby is still fussing, I would take her to the emergency room to be examined and xrayed. Sometimes we have to go with our motherly instincts.
