hi, i am also a parent and i experienced so many things on my 3 kids....i suggest you clean it again hydrogen peroxide and apply Betadine and don't put any bandage since putting it would make it more gross and would cause so much pain in him when the doctor tries to remove it....just let it out - dont panic, its just natural that a blood and pus would keep oozing but i do hope upon applying it by Betadine it would be much better for him to prevent infection. I assure you everything will be fine.....believe me.

Road rash is like a burn. It will ooze because the epidermis, the top most layer of the skin was peeled away instead of cut.
The best thing to do is keep it clean, wash with soap and water or use peroxide on it to destroy the germs.
Keep it covered preferrably with a bandage that has some antibacterial ointment on it to keep the bandage from sticking to the wound.

poor you. i will see myself in you simply by fact i'm a chocaholic, and additionally be stricken by a swollen ankle. the warmth does not help the two. you in simple terms point out one ankle, so is this an ankle which you will have injured interior the previous? In my case i had a Potts fracture of the left ankle over 2 many years in the past and it has under no circumstances decrease back to customary. besides, eating lots of fluid, exceedingly water is amazingly stable for you and in case you may drop pounds it is going to needless to say help too. The anti-histamine would desire to help the rash, yet you may alleviate the swelling of the ankle with the aid of not wearing tight setting up socks. attempt the non-elastic form such simply by fact those worn with the aid of thrombosis sufferers. additionally attempt to avert status for long classes. this is larger to stroll. And once you take a seat, attempt to take a seat back your legs on something. different than this, i'm afraid that there is not lots else which you're able to do. in case you're from the united kingdom then delight in the beautiful climate at the same time because it lasts. a minimum of you realize that it is not going to final long. I come from a warm united states of america and that i could elect to have some familiar British climate!

Off hand, I would just say to make sure that you cleaned it out really well or as well as you could. I would probably put a loose bandage on it so that it doesn't get irritated while he is sleeping.
Good Luck
