It often happens when it gets hot outside. It's normal for children to get nosebleeds, as long as the bleeding stops after a few minute. Pinch it shut, keep her head upright, and put some ice on the back or her next. This will stop the bleeding.

It's completely normal. To stop the bleeding immediately, firmly pull the small hairs on the back of her neck. Don't ask me how, but it works. Also pick up some saline nasal spray like Ocean Drops. My pediatrician recommended it for my daughter. It moisturizes the nasal passageway. It's just because of the dry air, expecially if she's been in air conditioning alot. A/C removed the humidity from the air, therefore, nosebleeds.

It can be normal. I remember it happening as a child. Only start to worry if it continues to bleed for a continuous time, or if she gets a coulple of nose bleeds a day.

My children would start getting nose bleeds when they were starting to get a cold I wouldn't worrie but if it happens way too many times then have her checked out she could just have weak blood vessles ... Or maybe she bumped it and you did not notice. a mom of 35 years.

It can be pretty normal. As long as you can control the bleeding and it stops quickly, it's probably nothing more than dried out mucous membranes. I used to get them fairly regularly as a kid, just out of the blue.

Is she on any medication? It usually a sign of a dry nose. Or a side effect from medication. Does your daughter pick her nose much at all or rub her face alot?

It's normal just as long as it's not happening too frequently and as long as the bleeding is easily controlled.

Picking your nose, sneezing, or a change in humidity can do it. Shouldn't be any worry at all unless it happens A LOT.

it's normal for kids i used to get them all the time they'd just start by themselves if it last more than 45 mins u should get them something to eat because u lose so much blood and they can get tired

I often had nosebleeds as a kid. They stopped soon.
