Hi, my 4 year old child after half an hour of falling asleep suddenly bled about 1 to 3 ml of blood out of one nostril. This also happenned in his day care about 2-3 months ago, and in one very cold night when we had to put on the heater. What might be the cause of the bleeding? Please help me with this question that is keeping me with out sleep tonight. Thanks so much
Common causes of nosebleeds are nose pricking, exposure to warm, dry air for prolonged periods of time, nasal and sinus infections, allergic rhinitis, nasal foreign body, etc. Try to avoid prolonged exposure to dry warm air, watch if your child has habit of nose pricking, or has put something in nose or sneezing repeatedly, etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
