At first glance it didn’t look like anything much, but one unusual detail in her son’s injury after a fall had this mum take him straight to the doctor.
the anonymous mum revealed how her son had fallen over while at the zoo last week.
“Yesterday on our way to the beach he showed me his hand,” the mum wrote. “I wasn’t happy as I noticed red tracking down his vein. I then checked his elbow – the same.” It turned out her son’s wound had lymphangitis, developing into a case of blood poisoning, but “thankfully the antibiotics are working and he is well in himself”.
