any child who is having high fever ,and on medication may present bleeding from gums/throat as inflammation of these can cause mild blood come out from mouth ,but if heavy blood ,non stop ,continuous,then examination of throat/mouth by physician is necessary ,may be he will request complete blood test CBC to see platelets count is not fallen , a cause of bleeding ,so follow up with doctor is needed in case bleeding is non-stop
