Hi , my 2 years old daughter fell and cut her eyelid horizontaly in the crease and it doesnt seem to stop bleeding... Is she going to need stiches?how ling should i wait , Should i just go to the hospital now? And how can i know if she scratched her eye? I put an ice pack and its a little swollen
Dear Sir/ Madam, Thank you for posting your query at Chat Doctor.com Good that you have given her first aid of ice pack. But I advise that let pediatrician see her and examine. If needed pediatrician will divert your to ophthalmologist opinion.  Swelling is due to the inflammation caused by injury. If the bleeding is continuous she may require stitches. Hope she feels better at earliest!! Your vote of thanks is much appreciated!! With best wishes,
