Cut lip

i goggled cut lip and just for myself know there isn't much that can be done. The cut doesn't seem big and stop bleeding after applying pressure with ice...since then, she went back to playing and had a bottle.

i shouldn't need to see a Dr right...

i know peace of mind is good in all but i know they will just dismiss it and say keep it clean, it will heal.


i would be going to pm ped for the first time if i do go..

my after hours care referred me to another after house dr.


TIA

Re: Cut lip

I don't think there's more than ice and pressure for that....if it doesn't stop bleeding, or it seems to really bother her, you can probably call the doctor's after hours number and see what they say.
Hope she feels better soon!

Re: Cut lip

tom, i'm sure it's fine if it stopped bleeding and she seems fine. i think the only concern would be if she needed stitches, but if it quickly stopped bleeding, i'm sure that's not an issue.
