Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Does Nose Bleeding In An Infant Require Medical Attention?
My 3 year old son just woke up with a bloody nose. Our house is not dry and he hasn t taken any aspirin. I don t think he would be picking his nose while he slept. The bleeding actually woke him up. Any ideas about what might have caused it? Should I take him to the doctor tomorrow?
It could be due to nose-picking. You can pinch the nose in case if active bleeding. It will be better to consult an ENT specialist to evaluate the cause of bleeding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Shinas Hussain, General & Family Physician
