• My son won't stop bleeding. Should I take him to the ER?

My son hit his head from jumping on his bed with his friends. He hit it pretty hard, and now won't stop bleeding from his forehead. Should I take him to the ER?

Maybe. Apply pressure to the area. The head and face are highly vascular and, therefore, bleed easily. If there is a cut (laceration) he should go to an urgent care or ER to have it repaired.
