Suggest Treatment For Bleeding Upper Lip Post Injury
My 2 1/2 yr old son fell off of the bed and hit his upper lip on something. He is bleeding on the top part of his gums where the flesh ligament thing under the upper lip and just below the nose is. It looks like there might be a small hole. The bleeding has slowed, but I am wondering if this is something that needs to be seen right now.

Hello... I ve reviewed your question... Can understand your worry... The part u have described has high vascularity so risk of bleeding is more... First of all press the part with cotton or gauze.... Then once bleeding slows down than look for any cut or laceration at local site... It may require surgical consultation and suturing..
