Question
What symptoms should I look out for if my child hits the back of their head? My child bumped into the back of their head yesterday, and they’re not in pain or showing any swelling, but they just started bleeding from the nose. What’s going on? They had spicy snacks today.
Answer
Based on your description, your child accidentally bumped the back of their head, which is generally not harmful. However, it is important to closely observe their deep sleep and any crying. It is recommended to give your child plenty of water to enhance metabolism. If your child experiences crying during deep sleep or any other abnormalities, seek immediate medical attention and have a cranial CT scan done to rule out any accidents. The nosebleed might be due to some heat at home causing dryness in your child’s respiratory tract. Give your child some Xiangshangju granules for nourishment.
