How To Cure Nose Bleed Due To A Injury?

My toddler fell and hit the bridge of his nose between the eyes, his nose bled slightly but there wasnt a solid flow. He didn t cry for too long. He is able to sniffle through his nose. I am wondering if there is anything that I should watch for that could be a concern?

Hi.
Thanks for your query and history.
If the bleeding has stopped and the baby can sniffle there is nothing to worry.
Yet to confirm that everything is fine , it is always better to consult an ENT Surgeon for a direct examination and investigations for nose like X-ray in the lateral position of the nasal bones to if there is any fracture or so.
In children the fractures are of the green-stick variety, meaning the bones are not completely fractured and many return back to normal and the remaining work of correction is done by the body . So do not worry if there is a NO deformity.
Normally no active treatment is needed.
