Thanks for asking at Healthcare Magic. I read your question and I understand Your concern.
Decrease level of consiousness, memory impairment, double vision, severe headache and double vision are signs of concussion.
As he has nose bleed and blood in ear as well with impairment of consiousness.
I would like to advise you to take him to ER soon as possible. He needs urgen CT scan of brain and bone window.
