Underwent Trauma, Cut In The Head, Blood Coming Through The Nose While Blowing. What Could This Be?
Hi, I had an accident on tuesday were I came out fairy unscathed after being launched out of a buggy. I was flung into the air and only sustained a cut to the head after rolling down the hill. I have a slight case of whiplash and the gash is healing , but I also have some blood coming out whenever I blow my nose . Could you tell me why? I can imagine it s just a build up or my body trying to heal itself
