Well, I took her up the hospital and they said it was too difficult to xray her foot trying to lay her down! She was screaming like someone was killing her so they only x-rayed the bone between her knee and foot and I clearly told them it was her foot that was the problem, so the doctor told us at the hospital that she had sprained her ankle without proof of a foot x-ray that there wern't broken bones and told us to go home! I thought this was really cruel, because we have been up all night, and they didnt even strap her foot up or nothing so I booked her into my GP today he referred us to a private x-ray clinic this time and they were great.. took the x-rays with her sitting up no worries at all they got 3 photos of her foot. Turns out there is no breakages but pretty severe swelling on her upper foot, we go back to the GP tomorrow I think he wants to put her foot in a little cast for a week to at least keep it still for her cause we are having so many problems with her bumping it and so on... the poor little bugger she doesnt understand why she cant walk, and its hard carrying a 15kg 3 year old around everywhere.
So thats it anyhow thanks for the replies on the nurofen and panadol thingy, I am just giving her them together but every 6 hours... safer so we know we wont overdose her by alternating them both and loosing track of dosages...
thanks again!![]()
