How Should Internal Injuries Be Checked Due To A Fall?

My son fell off a bed that is about 4 ft high he is 9 months. Few days later ei saw blood in his crib and I took him in to the hospital. They checkedhim and said the blood was a mystrey because they didnt see trace of blood in his nose. He doesnt have any cuts or scrapes or bruising. But im worried he might have a hematoma or broken nose? How might I know should I bre worried if they dont look intrrnaly?

Hi
Thanks for writing to us.
A nasal endoscopy can sometimes identify bleeding spot.
If he is otherwise active and cheerful with no abnormal behaviour don't worry.
He should be fine.
Xray nasal bone can.identify any minor cracking of nasal bone.
