Nose bleed after bashing face

1 reply

DD 6 bashed her face on the door handle at home just below her eye about an hour ago.

She has just been sat at the kitchen table and now has a nose bleed.

The area she banged looks red and slightly raised (is going to have a lovely bruise in the morning)

Before the nose bleed I was happy to go with a watch and wait scenario and presumed that other than a bruise she would be fine.

The nose bleed now though has thrown me into a bit of a panic.

Does she need to see a doctor? A and e? Carry on watching and waiting?

She has had nose bleeds before but not for about a year now.

If her nose has stopped bleeding and no headache, loss of consciousness, confusion or vomiting I would just keep an eye on her. Let her sleep as normal and painkillers if necessary. Pinch nostrils to stop bleeding for 10mins if nosebleed still going.
