Can Days Old Head Injury Cause Nose Bleeding?
My daughter hit her head on the ground after being jokingly pushed by her friend. It was a good thing though that there was a bush where she landed first. It somehow lessen the impact of her fall. After a few days she started having headaches, then sore eyes which are already being treated. Now ten days after the accident her nose bled. Could all these be the result of her fall? Should I be alarmed by her nose bleeding.

Hi there,
I can see that you really love your daughter, and are taking good care of her. She will grow up to be a fine lady.
Lets, come to the incident. It happened 10 days back, by the details that you have shared, I can see that she had a minor accident and injured her self. As you explained she had headaches and sore eyes, quit possibly can be because of injury.
Now the nose bleed, which she developed 10 days following injury is unlikely to be because of injury. We need to look at other reason that cause nasal bleed like nasal picking, or running nose. If the bleeding stops by it self or by just pressing the soft part of nose. Then you need not to worry about it. It will be better if you could show to a ENT specialist when ever you are free.
If the bleeding doesn't stop then you need to take her to Emergency Room of close by hospital.
thank you,
Hope your child stay healthy
