What Causes Frequent Nosebleeds In A Child?
I have a nine year old boy that seems to get a nosebleed at bedtime at least two times a weeek. It lasts for at least ten minutes. I don t know if I should mention but he is a slow learner and he was a late walker and talker. Should I be concerned about these nosebleeds or are they just normal?

hi, frequent nosebleeds in a 9 year old child is most commonly due to nose picking, dry skin inside the nasal area, infection at nasal region. It is not related to delayed achievement of milestones in child. if your child is nose picking more frequently then you should counsel the child to stop nose picking. apply lubricant cream like Vaseline inside the nose at bed time. if nose bleed persist then an examination by ENT specialist doctor should be done. take care.
