Hi...Thank you for consulting in Health Care magic. I understand your concern. First be reassured that your kid is normal. I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -
1. Vomiting continuously
2. Seizures
3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose
4. Unconsciousness
5. Altered sensorium or behaviour.
If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury.

In this case the bleeding has stopped and your son is normal and active. So do not worry. If he has nose bleeding again with 48-72 hours, get him examined by a physician.

Regards - Dr. Sumanth
