Question
What should I do if my 8-month-old baby falls and has a nosebleed?
Answer
If a child has a nosebleed after a fall, it is recommended to go to the hospital for a head examination immediately, especially a CT scan of the skull to rule out the possibility of brain hemorrhage. Since infants’ brains are not fully developed, even minor falls can lead to serious consequences. Early medical examination and assessment are necessary to ensure timely detection and treatment of potential injuries.
