Hello. My baby is 15 months. Yesterday while playing he lost banace and tripped his foot and fell. Since then he is refusing to walk.. Today I noticed some swelling in the upper part of the foot. When I move his ankle he is OK. But when I touch the upper part he shows discomfort. He is able to stand and bear weight. But he is not walking. What should I do?
