Waiting to see specialist. doc said possible growth plate fracture.my son cant stand on foot and falls to ground. is it normal to worsen everyday?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Stay off it.: If there is even the slightest possibility of a growth plate fracture, you son should not be standing. You need to keep the foot immobilized and elevated as much as possible. If there is swelling, apply ice. Depending on how long you have to wait to see a specialist, you might call your family doctor to push things along.
