Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of frequent nose bleeds. Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like exposure to warm, dry air for prolonged periods of time, nasal and sinus infections, allergic rhinitis, nasal foreign body, vigorous nose blowing and deviated or perforated nasal septum. You should avoid blowing nose hard. Avoid touching or pricking nose with any sharp object. Need not to worry. I would suggest you to consult pediatrician/ ENT specialist for proper examination. Doctor may also order nasal endoscopy and CT scan . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics , decongestants and may recommend surgery in case of nasal polyp and other condition.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
