Suggest Treatment For Severe Nose Bleeds And Headache

My son had a severe nose bleed that came out of both nostrils and only lasted for a couple minutes but the amount of blood was very significant and now he is complaining of a headache should I take him to the hospital? He started getting the nose bleed after his sister bumped him in his head not his nose his head could that mean anything to his nose bleed and headache?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello dear,
Understand your concern.
Following are the treatment of severe nose bleed.
1. Sit down, pinch your nose just above nostrils for 15-20 minutes
2. Relive after 15 minutes and again after 5 minutes pinch it again till the bleeding stops
3. Take breath through mouth.
4. Do not blow through nose
5. Apply cold pack on your nose: it constricts your nose blood vessels
6. Do not lie down flat and avoid strenuous exercise like weight lifting.
7. Tablet or injection of Diclofenac + paracetamol for headache
7. If note resolved you should take vitamin K injection.
8. Also do investigation like X-RAY head, CT scan if not stop to exclude other injury

Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
