Question:

My 2 yr old daughter recently broke her arm and she is wearing a cast...?

Shes started using her hand again to eat but we cant keep her from getting it dirty. Does anyone know a way i could clean the inside cotton??? She fell of a slide:(


Answers:

Not sure how you could clean the inside cotton...when I had my cast I tried and it stayed wet forever and was pretty uncomfortable, not to mention a tad smelly. However, if she's doing something that's gonna get it dirtier, you could put a glove of some sorts (rubber or latex or even cotton...although she's probably a lot smaller than they come) on her hand and tape it at the cuff. We do this with patients in the hospital when they shower to protect casts and IV sites.
