3. When Limping and Tears Mean You Should Call a Doctor or Go to the ER
If your daughter is in severe pain, or if you notice swelling, redness, pus, or warmth around the area, seek medical attention right away. These signs could indicate infection or another medical issue that needs urgent treatment.
You should also contact a healthcare provider if she cannot put weight on her foot or if the pain continues despite basic home care. Prompt medical advice can help prevent complications and ensure she receives proper treatment.
