Baby, 7 months, fell from the bed, knee height and I wasn't around to witness it. There was blood all over and GP took a look at his mouth and told me he had a cut on his labial frenulum (part connecting the gum and the lip in his upper mouth) Went to the hospital and got it stitched up. He was crying very badly today and he has never cried so hard before. After we got back I realised he had a minor bad goose egg on his forehead. He was also very whiny and needed me around. No longer adventurous. Previously he's very fearless in his exploring. 1. Will his behavior be back to normal? Pains me to see he's overly cautious and not so happy yet. 2. His upper gums has become blue black, will anything happen to his mouth/teeth/gum? 3. Accident happened in the early afternoon and he is sleeping now. Should I be monitoring through the night? 4. Anything I can do with regards to the bad goose egg? I rubbed with a boiled egg already.

@Ruby: thanks for your reply, unfortunately I do not have any help in the daytime and yes he was sleeping when I left him. Was taking a dump and texting my hubs when I heard his piercing cry. Ran to him and there was blood all over. Was with him throughout the day today. I just hope that his swellings will go down soon so that he wouldn't look so puffy cause it reminded me of the accident. He definitely had some difficulty putting things in his mouth today. Hope he will be the cheerful baby I once know again. Thanks everyone for making me feel better, I honestly don't think I deserve it.
