What Precaution To Be Taken For The Tear Above The Eyebrow?
My daughter hit wall edge and has tear above her eye in the eyebrow area. She bled some and now she s fine. I wiped the tear with alcohol wipes and applied polysporin. Please guide me as to what else should I be doing to help her heal better? Thank you.

Hi,
Thank you for asking question on health care magic.
If the wound is gaping it needs stitches to appose the skin edges for better and quick healing.
Tetanus toxoid is needed.
Oral antibitic like erythromycin to prevent infection.
Ibuprofen to reduce pain and inflammation.
Hope this answer will serve your purpose
Please feel free to ask any more queries if required
Take care
