Children are generally falling, and damage the tailbone is easy, for example, stamping up, running on slippery stairs. Risky and favorite children's joke - pull out a chair from under a nearby comrade.

As it warms the napkin you need to change. You can not apply ice from the freezer, t. To. So cold, it is easy to straighten the organs of the urogenital system. Cold robes have to do a few hours in a row, sometimes all day. If the pain does not subside, give the child an anesthetic and anti-inflammatory agent in the dose that is permitted at his age (remember the contraindications).
When it becomes easier, let the victim turn over from the belly on the back, but it is not necessary to lie on soft, but in the semi-rig. On the second day after receiving injury, cold robes are no longer needed. But if the pain remains, it can be removed by ointment with sodium diclofenas. With insignificant injury, pain passes in 2-3 days. If the child continues to complain, when walking, he experiences pain and discomfort - be sure to contact the surgeon.
