Toddler put teeth through lip
My 19 month old son fell tonight and put his teeth the whole way through the bottom part of his lip. It didn’t bleed long at all and I used a wipe provided in the first aid kit to clean it as well as he would allow me and then applied triple antibiotic ointment. The cut is about a quarter to a half inch long. Should I have taken him to get stitches? And if you think he should be fine how do I care for the wound properly at home?
