**threeofthem** · 21-06-2011 18:49

I hope someone can help quickly ds split his head open today. It was glued and ok for te afternoon but this stared to bleed again about an hour ago. It has now stopped. Should I take him back in just in case it starts to bleed again or leave it?

Help please

I'd take him back, it may need more than glue if it's opened up again.

It's my phone & I'll cry if I want to.

My DD had her chin glued a few months ago and it bled a bit after as she kept bumping it but as long as the glue was holding uo the Drs wernt worried

My DD cut her head open on the cofee table over the weekend. Called up MIL, who is a Registered nurse, and she told me all was fine ect ect, but to expect it to begin bleeding again later as the scalp is extremely vascular and just moving around could set it off again.

Not sure if that helps, slightly different situation as DD didn't need glue, but thought it might ease your mind a little

If you're still worried, call 13 HEALTH

You've had the same day as mine! I took DS back and all they did was clean him up, drop a few more drops of glue on and put another dressing on. It was a pretty poor job and I'm disappointed given that this will leave a scar on his head. Its so frustrating!

Thanks
I put him to bed and will see how much it bleeds overnight. If its a lot I will take him back.
I kind of wish they had stiched it as Then I wouldn't be worried now.

Same thing happened when my older ds split his chin open. The glue didnt work either.
