DS got hit in his face by a ball in PE leavung what looked like a small cut on the outside. He came home last night and it was still bleeding, then were realised it wasn't just blood but saliva as well and that it was bubbling through.

Took him to the UCC where the nurse has superglued the hole from the outside and they have left the inside to heal naturally.

It's in a really awkward place and he can't help moving it. Been told to needs to keep his mouth as clean as possible ie mouth wash etc not to get the wound wet for 5 days.

Anyone else had an injury like this, did it heal okay.

Hi, My dd bit through her lip falling and bumping her chin on slide steps, also had it glued.

It healed really well and suprisingly quickly leaving no scar, considering the amount of blood and the fact like your ds it had gone right through I was quite suprised, apparently sores inside the mouth heal particularly well.

Hope you ds mends soon!

Glad your dd was okay hmmsleep

I had to take DS back today as the glue had fallen out, but they were pleased with the way it was healing and have not bothered to reglue it.
