How To Deal With Blood In Mouth Of Kids After A Fall?

Hi, My 9mo old daughter just bit down on a tick and got the blood in her mouth. We washed it out as good as possible, but we are still concerned with the after effects. Will she be okay? we did get the tick out of her mouth, it was not digested just the blood.

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

It is good thing that you washed her mouth immediately. If there is no injury in the oral cavity then its fine. If you find any of the following things then visit hospital immediately:
> Refusal to take feed
> Irritable for longer time
> Loss of consciousness
> Any unusual symptom

Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow
up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us.
Wishing her good health.
