Already Tried:
Placed a wet cold towel on his nose.

When he bumped his head, did he hit his nose?

Reply to Jean Murphy's Post: I'm not sure, I saw it happen, and it looked to me like he just hit his forehead, not his nose. That's why I'm concerned...if he hit his forehead, and that caused the bleeding.
