NO: ER/UC: Get her checked and xrayed at your local ER or urgent care center. Local ice and a sling would be helpful along with peediatric ibuprfen if she is not allergic to this product.

Yes it is: I assume the fracture has already been evaluated and treated. If true, then no worries. Just follow the directions given and keep all followup appointments as scheduled. Hope that helps.

Maybe: Swelling and pain are part of fractures. With elbow fractures you need to pay close attention to their hand. If it swollen the splint may be on too tight and is impairing circulation. If her fingers are a different color than her other hand the splint may be to tight as well. Keep her hand and elbow elevated to reduce swelling. If the swelling or pain are worsening take her back in to be rechecked
