Does he need stiches?!


Question: Does he need stiches?
I have a 7 year old son who fell down 2 flights of stars and bit through his lip. Does he need stiches?

Answers:

Yes, so he won't have a scar. It will heal better too.



Depends on how wide and how deep the cut is. Has he completely bit through the lip so there would be a small hole? If so he will need stitches to keep the wound closed and minimize infection.
