Suggest Treatment For Severe Headache And Nosebleed In A Child
I have a 5 year old with severe headache and nosebleeds. He developed a slight rash yesterday after running a low grade fever for 4 days. No fever for 24hr now but bad headache and nosebleeds came on today. My hope is that it is just viral. Should I be concerned it is something more serious?

Hi.. By what you quote I feel that it could just be a passing viral illness. But if the nose bleeds recur again or if his behavior is altered you need to consult a physician. Bad head ache associated with vomiting / reeling sensation of the head / unconsciousness/ seizures / ENT bleeds is an indication for evaluation. As there is nose bleed - I suggest you consult your pediatrician for this as soon as possible.
