Hi,
Noted the history about your son getting a elbow hit on nose with dried blood now, has headache, consulted a Doctor who said there is no
fracture or
concussion , it is the blood clot in nose that is causing the headache, wants to know how to remove such blood.
The easiest way is the instill normal saline in nose so that the clot gets separated from the nasal mucosa and hence the blot can be easily expelled from nose.
ENT Surgeon can help you more if the routine management does not help.
He would suction the nose to remove the clot.
Since there was blood in nose, it is best to go for
CT scan of nose and brain to rule out any
injury. And if present then will be treated accordingly as required.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. T. Chandrakant, General Surgeon
