Question
Is it normal for a child to have a nosebleed?
Answer
Children often have nosebleeds due to an injury to the anterior part of the nasal septum, where several blood vessels intersect and are arteries, resulting in significant bleeding. Secondly, be mindful that the child does not pick their nose. Thirdly, give them plenty of vitamin C orally, and secondly, ensure they drink plenty of water. If the nosebleed is severe, it should be checked with a blood test, including platelets. If the blood test results are normal, they should be sent to an otolaryngology department for a thorough examination.
