Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic.
These are the possibilities for what you quote -
1. It could be a simple epistaxis or nose bleed, which should have triggered a
vagal attack and he felt dizzy.
2. Recurring dizziness and headache along with nose bleeds- particularly if
there is a history of trauma to head is very important. You need to rush to
emergency room.
Hope my answer was helpful for you. I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Health care magic are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
