What Causes Persistent Nose Bleed?
my 6 year old daughter has had a very slow nosebleed for most of the day that we have not been able to stop except very temporarily. She had mitral valve repair surgery 4 months ago and takes high blood pressure med and pulmonary hypertension med.

Hi,
This needs evaluation to find out the cause, which may be from rhinitis, mucosal drying or bleeding/platelet disorder. Also, we may need dose adjustment of any anti-platelet/anti coagulant drugs she might be on. Kindly take her to doctor for evaluation. Meanwhile, pinch nostrils for 10 minutes, sitting stooping forward to temporarily stop bleeding.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
