Brief Answer:
Should not be anything major.

Detailed Answer:
Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxx,
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist,here to answer your query.

Apparently,he did not lose consciousness and did not suffer any neurological deficit,so it does not appear to be a major threat issue.

However,to be on the safer side,take him to an ENT specialist and get examined for any significant injury which could be the cause of nasal bleed.If bleeding is ongoing,nasal packing should be done.

Hope that helps.If you have some further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.

Regards
Dr.Ajay Panwar,
MD,DM(Neurology)
