A member asked:
My 2 year old sprained her foot yesterday & is trying to walk today, gingerly. there is no redness/swelling. should we discourage walking & rest it?

No: At 2 years old, normally we allow the child to set their own pace.But be careful that there is no fracture.So if no better in 1-2 days, may want to have her leg examined.

Depends on severity: If it was a sever injury and if she is in considerable pain, have her evaluated and get the appropriate treatment.
