My 21 month old son has a swollen ankle, took him to have xray 1 week ago and they couldnt see any fracture, also had ultrasound and showed a lot of swelling but coudlnt see why. They thought it might be a sprain. A week later he can walk on it still, but has started crawling and bum shuffling along instead of walking all the time on it,the swelling is still the same as when he had the scan but it does tend to get worse by the evening? Not sure what to do next?
Hello, I read carefully your query and understand your concern. I agree with the doctors that the symptoms seem to be related to a strain. I suggest using cold compresses for local application. In case of pain you may give him Tylenol. Hope my answer was helpful. If you have further queries feel free to contact me again. Kind regards!  Chat Doctor.
