Hi...I feel that he is going through a viral illness. But fast breathing s not a good sign to be left alone. i suggest you consult your physician or pediatrician regarding this. Bleeding can occur even due to trivial nose picking or due to viral illness per se. But as 17 month old cannot pick the nose so effectively, I think it is related to viral illness and I suggest you see a physician or pediatrician.
