hello... my 9 year old suffered a mild concussion 4 days ago. he has mild headaches, some dizziness, some fatigue since his concussion. He has experienced two nosebleeds since his concussion. He does NOT have a headache while having these nosebleeds and his headaches have been getting better every day. symptoms are not worse during the nosebleed. He seems to be getting better and I would think if the nose bleed were indicative of a head bleed his symptoms would be worse, and that they are more than likely coincidental. should I be more concerned?
