He was running in fell he hits the back of his head..he was crying that I immediately started to look for any bumps but I couldn't see and touch nothing..what got me scared is that while I was checking his head I saw he was having some fresh blood on one nostril.i wipe it off and there were no moore blood .but by then my son was already calm..I observed and everything seems fine on him..but this blood on his nostril is not making me sleep calm..should I have to worry?
Hi. Sure , you have to worry and consult a Doctor / ER ? Hospital as soon as possible , go for CT or MRI to rule out the problem. This is so because the Ear/ Nose / Throat bleeding on head injury ( that too at the back of it) can be an indication of internal trauma and bleeding.
