My 20 month old son was recently diagnosed with von willenbrands disease. unsure of the type. we have a appt in 2 months with cbcd, any precautions?

Basic precautions: Von willibrand disease is typically a mild bleeding disorder but some basic precautions are needed. Notify your dentist of the problem & arrange with your pcp to pre-treat before dental work. Avoid use of intramuscular meds if another route is available. Have any significant head trauma evaluated immediately. Recognise that long term pressure will be required before simple wounds will clot.

Von wille brand dise: Affects mucous membrane bleeds. Highly unlikely for joint bleeds ( like in hemophilia). Nose bleeds, bleeding gums after brushing teeth common symptoms. Needs surgical precautions--- that is---- in case he has to undergo any surgery.
