Bleeding
If your child has a cut that is bleeding:
- Wash the cut with soap and water
- Apply triple antibiotic ointment
- Apply pressure for 15 minutes to stop bleeding
- Cover with a bandage
Call or make an appointment online if:
- The edges of a cut do no meet or the cut is gaping open
- You cannot control the bleeding after 15 minutes
