Your child’s blood flow (circulation) may be affected by the treatment they had for their injured arm or leg. To prevent more injuries, you need to check the circulation in their fingers or toes. Some pain is normal after an injury. You can give your child over-the-counter (OTC) medicine like ibuprofen (Motrin® or Advil®) or acetaminophen (Tylenol®) to control the pain. Pain that gets worse and is not controlled could be a sign of poor circulation....

We use our teeth to help us form our words, chew our food and even to smile. We brush, floss and clean them because our teeth are an important and necessary tool in our day-to-day lives. And so, when dental trauma such as a knocked out or chipped tooth happens to a young child, there is – of course – cause for concern. Previously, there was sometimes no choice but to remove the tooth and either replace it with a fake one or leave that space empty altogether....
