What Causes Nose Bleeding And Body Chill?

My 3.5 year old boy has a slight sniffle and yesterday had a bloody nose before bed. He woke up with cold sweats in the night even though he had layers of clothes/ duvet/ fleece blanket and the heating was on. He felt freezing. He then had another nose bleed this morning. Is this flu?

Hai. Yes it could be flu...at the same time you need not panic as no epidemic us going in world now. Fever night sweats & nasal symptoms point towards flu only. Give him some paracetamol if fever is more than 100 & symptomatic antiallergics. .Happy to help anytime. If you are happy with my reply, kindly rate it.
