What Treatment To Follow After A Bad Fall?
My 8 year old brother fell from 13th flight of stairs, after falling he stood up and spitted small amount of blood, what does that mean? He can walk and speak, but I've noticed him trembling and has bruises all over his body. Is that something serious?

Hello,
Thanks for your query. I am happy to help you here.
What was the reason of fall? As you said bruises all over the body, it can happen is some bleeding tendencies like decrease platelet count etc. Without doing a minute late take him to ER or Gp.
some blood tests a required to be done immediately. If any thing serious needs to be managed as early as possible.
I hope i answered your query.
Thank you
