How to stop bleeding on a Small cut while on coumadin/warfarin.

[anonymous24]

Hello , My husband is currently on Coumadin/warfarin and this morning he got a little cut on his finger which removed a small piece of skin. It has been bleeding off and on all day. We have been changing bandaids about every 5- 8 min or so. While burping the baby it started up again. Any suggestions on how to stop bleeding on such a small cut. It is to small to go to the ER or Dr about. Thanks for all your help.

He can try applying pressure on the wound with a damp gauze for around 30 minutes. Or you can use a tea bag since it has tannic acid which can help stop bleeding. Steep the tea bag in water then squeeze to remove excess water. Then apply on the wound with light pressure for 30 minutes.
