Hi,
Thanks for writing to health care magic.
That can be decided after clinical examination. Most of the cases it is required to be stitched back.
pl prevent injuries like this from occurring by taking adequate child protection measures.
Hope there are no vomiting or any other associated problems.
Hope this helps
take care
