I had to take ds (6yo) to minor injuries today as he fell and knocked his fingernail really badly, so the nailbed came out I think - I can't quite understand what happened, only that he fell over and hit it on the tiles in the kitchen and screamed and there was a lot of blood.
We went straight there and the nurse dressed it, with steri strips, but it was still bleeding a lot, and also the finger next to it which was cut at the side somehow.
She had to do the nail one again and add that seaweed dressing material that helps it clot, and that seems Ok, but the other one seems to be bleeding through its rather thick dressing, after a few hours - is this Ok or does it need stitching/gluing?
He won't let me take it off and we have to go to the surgery on Tues to have the other dressing washed off, apparently, so I'm not sure what to do.
Thankyou
