He just had an minor accident and injured his wrist we got an x ray done from a local store and it shows "fracture at the lower end of radius bone is seen, soft tissue swelling is seen" and" joint space is normal" should we go for plaster coz we want to avoid it as the kid is scared of those, currently we are in a very remote area with very basic medical help available so don't want to risk anything.
