Question: my 6 years old son fell dow and had head injury. please suggest how to stop bleeding and any medicine or ointment for wound.
Brief Answer:
Betadine
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Apply pressure over the wound with your hand.
You can later apply Betadine ointment once the bleeding has stopped. Clean the blood with clean water and then apply the ointment.
If the wound is big enough after cleaning, you may have to take him to the ER for suturing.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.
