Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi...bleeding gums now for a surgery done yesterday is too long a time to wait still without evaluating. I suggest you evaluate him for a bleeding disorder. But I am sure that they would have done a PT, aPTT, Clotting time and Bleeding time before going ahead with the surgery. I suggest you get him evaluated by a hematologist on the suggestion of your pediatrician.
