My daughter limps! Did she fall or did someone fall on her.

Hi all,

Please I need your guidance, I am currently out of the for my field work. So on Sunday I travelled out of town for data collection as part of my phd, leaving my 21 months old daughter, husband and sister in the apartment.

I came back 2 days later only to notice that my daughter had a limp. I asked what happened and my sister said she fell outside, but also the floor was wet on another occasion and her dad slipped and fell on top of her.

This is day 5 and she is still limping. What should I do?

Should I take her to a specialist hospital? Note: hospitals here are barely regulated so I do not want to compound things by going to the wrong one. If I called my GP will he be able to offer any advise?

I will hate myself if she continues to limp as I feel that would disfigure my beautiful daughter

Any advise will be appreciated.

You need to see a doctor where you are if she is still limping 6days down the line. I doubt your gp can give you advise over the phone without seeing her, and what if she needs some sort of treatment, he definitely can't do that over the phone.

Thanks.

Will take her for a check up just incase.

I appreciate

Just coming back from the hospital the doctor said she will be fine as an xray confirmed there was nothing wrong.

Thanks guys.
