In case of open break (bone protrudes through the skin) with severe bleeding, as a first aid, apply pressure on the bleeding area with a gauze pad and take your child to the doctor immediately.
Signs and Symptoms

Swelling, bruising, and tenderness of
the affected area
Difficulty in moving the injured part
Pain in the injured part while moving, being touched, or bearing weight
Quick actions to be taken if your child has a bone injury:

If your child needs to be moved, apply splints around the injured body part to prevent further injury
