Suggest Medication For Bleeding Of Nose Due To An Injury

My 5 year old daughter fell and hit her forehead on the tiled floor. Seconds after her nose started to bleed. I applied ice to the forehead and placed her under the shower immediately. The bleeding stopped about 15 minutes after. I am wondering if there s anything I should be concerned about. Is nose bleed after a fall like that dangerous?

Hello
Thank You for contacting HCM.

Even slight trauma to nose may cause bleed. Observe your daughter closely for following :
> Altered state
> Loss of consciousness
> Visual problem
> Recurrent nose bleed.
> Altered state
> Any unusual symptom

In case you notice any of the above mentioned signs then i would suggest you to take her to hospital for detailed evaluation
