You have already kept cotton for 4 hours, so no need of placing cotton (If bleeding is stopped). But if still blood is coming out, than place a new cotton and bite for 1 hour more. (Do not spit, rinse or have anything hot for 24 hours. ) If still bleeding continues,please visit your dentist for physical evaluation.
