DD (4) has just been sent home from school after falling over in the playground. Her face is a bit of a state, but she won't let me touch it, and she's adamant she doesn't want to go to the doctors.
Most is graze, but the top cut, although tiny, won't stop bleeding (it's about an hour and 25 minutes since she fell).
I have no real idea what to do for the best, it's all cleaned, just leave it? Can you buy steristrip at chemists? Does it need minor injuries?
My first aid training is all at the choking/CPR end of the spectrum, and faced with cuts and grazes I'm not sure what the best advice is....
