Is Light Nosebleed In A Toddler Post A Hit On Forehead A Cause For Concern?

Hello, My 22month old son fell off the stairs today and hit his forehead and nose on the concrete sidewalk. He does not have a bump on his head but did have some light nose bleeding immediately afterwards. Stopped bleeding within 10-15 minutes. Eating, playing and sleeping has all been normal today. Do I need to follow up with his dr tomorrow or will he be ok? Thank you very much!

Hello,

Single episode of nose bleed without any associated symptoms of headache, vomiting, altered sensorium or seizures is of no worry. The transient pressure injury over the ethmoidal plexus veins do suggest immediate nose bleed. However, following features if seen, must be presented to his pediatrician:
- Excess lethargy or sleep
- Recurrent or persistent nose bleed
- Unusual movements as teeth grinding or clenching feast

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
