Hi
Thanks for your query.
Amoxicillin is not known to cause bleeding problem.
Nose bleeding cab be a part of disease itself as cold leads to dryness in nasl mucosa which can lead to bleeding,
I suggest you to apply ice compresses over nose in case of bleeding,pinch nose for 5 minutes.put paraffin drops 2 to 3 times a day.
In case symptoms persist take him to pediatrician for evaluation and proper treatment.
Your baby will be fine
God bless
