HI Well come to HCM I really appreciate your concern, the symptoms of bleeding per nose may not be due to the history of concussion but it could be due to cold or may be due to idiopathic epistaxis, although clinical examination would be the last judge and I would advise you to see the pediatrician but it may not be serious condition hope this information helps.
