3 Year Old Has A Cut On The Eyelid After A Fall. Bleeding Not Stopped. Need To Take To Emergency?
My son is 3 years old and he fell down and cut the side of his eye up to his eye lid. I'm not sure if I should take him to a ER. I clean it up and gave him ibuprofen and currently putting an ice pack on it, but my only concern that it won't stop bleeding. It's not bleeding alot but he hasn't stop since the accedent like 2 hours ago. He stop crying and is acting normal, but it is bothering him. Please help. Thank you!

Hi,
Thank you for your query.
I understand your concern.
Do not panic.
Ice pack should do the job...crying baby will have more bleeding...try to calm him down.
If the wound is gaping and bleeding then take the baby to ER for stitches.
Hope this answers your query.
If you have any other queries kindly direct them to me.
Wishing a speedy recovery.
Have a nice day.
