Toddlers fall, but..: Toddlers fall down all the time, but rarely get badly hurt. When a young child falls on an arm or leg, there can be a bruise and mild swelling. If there is a big lump, and especially if the child doesn't want to move the limp in the normal manner, there may be a fracture or may be a dislocation at the joint. His pediatrician can help, or the ER doctor.
