Hi. my name is Isabel. My child who is 1 year old and 10 months,2ft and 8in,weighs 12kls.My concern is he tripped and fell on the floor a while ago. After a few minutes, his nose was bleeding but it didnt take more than a minute till it has stopped. I checked if he s any fracture,there was none. I have observed him as well, and he didnt show any signs of disorientation, dizziness... Shall i still take him to the ER? Thank you so much.
Dear Isabel you have to take him. The fracture of deep face bones cannot be checked by lay people. You did observe, but a 1-year-old it is difficult to check for orientation and dizziness. My advice is taken him to ER, have a ENT look into his nose, better have a X-ray skull done to make sure that small cracks are not there in nasal cartilage or bone or that blood clot inside his nose. Which has stopped the bleed. Best of luck to you and the young one
