Child Having Frequent And Sudden Nasal Bleeding, Has Soft Snot. What Could Be The Cause?

MY two year old daughter gets nose bleeds at least once a month sometimes she can just be playing and it appears out of no where. Her boogers are never really soft and always seem to be hard.

Hello,
Welcome to HCM,
Have read your query, it could be due to removal of the hard boogers that may cause the inner lining of the nostril to get damaged and cause the nose bleeds, also could be due to the heat and not maintaining of adequate hygiene of the nostrils which could be predisposing the cause. If it is a regular phenomenon despite the above measures, will recommend to show to your physician or ENT.
thanks
