What Should I Do For Blood And Mucus Coming Out Of Nose After Injury?
Hi,
My Brother's 1yr old son hit his face today and has had blood and mucus from his nose most of the evening. They think it is broken. They are asking me weather it should be checked out tonight or if it can wait till the morning. He is also very sweaty. The bleeding has settled down now though. He did not loose consciousness and has bee alert and ok.

Hi, thanks for using HCM.
With history of trauma to nose in 1 yr old kid is concerning, as bony sutures are not well closed in them, so any infection can easily spread to other places like eye, sinus, brain. And chances of rebleed is also possible. Better to consult doctor as soon as possible.
