How Can One Cure Frequent Nosebleeds?

My son is 10. He has frequent nosebleeds for at least a year. This March 15th I started tracking them. The nose bleeds are bad, as if someone turns on a faucet, he seems to get them every week or every other week, sometimes 2x in a day.. I have spoken to his pediatrician, she said he should not pick his nose. Trust me, he is not a nose picker. In March when u decided to start writing down each nose bleed, I took him to Urgent care, they checked his blood count. Tonight he went to sleep, woke up at 11p with blood everywhere. This time the bloodl was a little chunky. What should I do? What should I be concerned about?

Hello,

Taking good care of not picking nose, taking enough vitamins especially vitamin C will help him not have more nosebleeds.

The bleeding will get better as he grows up even without treatment. If it is so frequent and disturbing you can consider cauterization.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
