Should I Be Worried Of Dried Blood Around Nose Of Baby After Getting Hit?
14 month old baby and i slipped down the stairs, i kept her along the wall and landed on the stairs, but she hit her head. cried alot but seemed fine. 3 days later (in the am) she has a very slight nose bleed (dried blood around base of nose). should we be concerned?

Hi...there is no need to panic if she's acting normally. But as there has been a spontaneous nasal bleed after a head injury, this carries significance. I suggest you consult your kid's pediatrician and get her evaluated.
The usual danger signs include, seizures, loss of consciousness, irritable behavior or altered behavior, ear and nose bleeds or watery discharge. That's why I am suggesting that you seek medical attention.
