[|Human|] My 11 month old son recently hit his foreheaf causing it to bruise. I not only concerned about possible damage, but he was premature and had a grade 1 IVH. will this cause any long term damage. Lastly I noticed there was blood when I was suctioning out his nose. Please advise
[|AI|]  Hi... Thank you for consulting in Chat Doctor. I understand your concern.  I will suggest you danger signs of head injury -1. Vomiting continuously2. Seizures3. Watery of bloody discharge from ears and nose4. Unconsciousness5. Altered sensorial or behavior. If none of them are present, I don't think you should worry about his trivial head injury. For pain, you can give oral Paracetamol in the dose of 15 mg/kg/dose(max ceiling dose 500 mg) every 4-6th hourly. But as there is blood form the nose on suctioning - I suggest you take him to the nearest emergency room. The bruising on the forehead need not be worried about. Hope my answer was helpful for you.  I am happy to help any time. Further clarifications and consultations on Chat Doctor are welcome. If you do not have any clarifications, you can close the discussion and rate the answer. Wish your kid good health.
