Suggest Treatment For Severe Nose Bleed In A 5 Year Old Boy

Hi my 5 year old was running across our hardwood floors, slipped with his socks and whacked the back of his head. A few minutes later he got a nose bleed. It lasted no more then 1 minute and he is fine. I just wanted to check before I take a trip to the ER
