Hi
Thanks for posting on HCM
If the cut is too deep, suturing will have to be considered when he reaches the hospital.After that, pain drugs and antibiotics will be needed to prevent infection.If his anti-tetanic immunizationis not up to date, a booster dose should be considered.In the meantime, simple compression may help to stop the bleeding.You may compress it and tie with any clean piece of clothe or use the neopsorin tape if enough to cover and compress the cut.
Hope this will help
Best regards
