Hi,
He might have to go to the emergency room. It is important to know if he lost so much blood, if he has had an infection of the wound, or some other lesions related to the trauma might have set in. This could have simply aggravated an existing condition that was not really taken seriously. It s better to see the physician in the ER room. Kind regards
