My son cut himself on glass on Sunday and it looks swollen today, what should I do?

Hello Mrs,

Usually, basic care is sufficient: Cleaning with water and mild soap (no peroxide or alcohol, then cover with a bandage. Change the bandage only once a day unless it becomes soiled.

For now, I suggest circling the red area with a pen. If the redness goes beyond the mark, if the pain increases, or if your child develops other symptoms such as a fever, you should seek medical attention immediately

Would you be able to send some well-lit images?

Don't worry, you're not bothering me.

Thanks for the pictures! Continue basic hygiene, I recommend keeping the wound covered. If the swelling or redness goes beyond the pencil mark, don't hesitate to seek medical attention.

Thank you for your words, it is greatly appreciated, it made my day!

Tom
