Hi there.

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

I have read your query.

It appears that he could be having a bleeding disorder which can be caused by liver problems, infections, Haemophilia etc.

He needs to get his liver assessed if he consumes alcohol or has jaundice.

As if now keep him safe from any kind of trauma. He can take Paracetamol tablet in prescription doses for pain.

He needs to be investigated for bleeding disorders and liver disease urgently.

I hope I have answered your query.

Thanking you.

Regards,

Dr. Aashish Raghu
