Deep cut on right thumb
My son ( 22 months) got a deep cut on his right thumb while playing on 04 nov . Excessive bleeding happened. I am not sure but it is by a writing board corner.
I went to a nearby hospital where the staff made 7 stitches on his thumb and prescribe amoxcylin and ibrufene / combiflam for a week. But not injected TT
Bleeding stopped and child is playing and eating normally.
Is there anything else I should check or do??
Is a TT necessary?
