What Causes Fever And Bloody Nasal Discharge In A Child?

I have a normally healthy 5 y and 2 m old son. He is 48 inches tall and 46 pounds. He had a fever yesterday until 6 AM this morning. It got really high - 104.5 F last night but has responded to ibuprofen. last Ibuprofen was at 6 AM this morning, now 1 PM and still afebrile but he had a mild bloody nose. Should I take him to urgent care?

Hi,
Welcome To Healthcare Magic.

I can understand your concern regarding to your child’s health.

Bloody nose is common in children and it occurs due to different possibilities like sneezing, cold and habit of fingering in nose. No need to worry about it and no need for urge care. It will be subsided by primary care like keeping the cotton plug in nose during it bleeds and keep him in sitting position after an hour of bleeding.

After doing these, I hope your son will get well sooner and further queries are always welcome. I will definitely like to answer them.

Wish your son good health.
Take Care, Thank You.
