Patient's Query
Hello doctor,
My daughter just had a tooth surgery and bleeding is not stopping. Is it normal? Three hours before only she had it.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
I had gone through your question, and I can understand your concern about your daughter. No, the bleeding should have been stopped within half an hour or two, but maybe the clot has been dislodged from its position, and it has bled again.
You need to roll cotton, sterilized or a new one purchased from the market, three to four times equal to the socket, not too big or small, put it on the socket, and close the mouth tightly. Keep the teeth closed for half an hour, do not talk for this half an hour, and do not even spit the blood out. Make sure that the mouth does not open for half an hour. In case there is saliva in the mouth, she can swallow it, but her mouth must be closed at the time of swallowing. You can also visit the dentist in case the bleeding does not stop within half an hour after the above procedure is done.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
