Cut still bleeding after glueing at A&E

DS (4) cut his head in accident this evening. We took him to A&E and they glued the cut. Now we are home it has started to bleed again. What should I do?

Can you call 111 for advice?

Go straight back. This happened to my daughter, they hadn't glued it enough. Ring them first so they're expecting you. I did this and didn't have to wait.

Is it really bleeding a lot or just oozing? I think some oozing can be normal

holymosquito · 10/07/2020 20:44

More oozing than anything. This and a few spots on the pillow.

DD cut her lip & chin last year, glued at A&E and before we left the car park noticed it bleeding again so went back in. The doctor said it was fine and to expect it to still weep & ooze until they morning. If you are worried pop back, tbh I wouldn’t bother with 111.

That definitely doesn't look right, did you go back?

Put pressure on it, keep presdure on it for 15 minutes or so

Id expect it to still ooze a little. I wouldnt expect it to be pouring with blood.
