My daughter fell asleep with two rubberbands on her wrist last night. I didn't notice this till this morning, it is really swollen now, but I think it will be ok. I'm trying to find ways to get the swelling down, she's only 2 1/2, could someone help me?

Her hand wasn't blue when she woke up, it was just swollen from having the rubberband around it all night.

Use ice , 20 min on and 20 min off until swelling goes down. When swelling goes down use heat. R

You don't mention if her hand was blue or not. Call her pediatrician and ask for his advice. This is not something to play with. Good luck to you both.
