i have 2 little step-sons (9 & 7) and they are constantly bleeding from their nose! Their dad tells me it is because of sinuses but he says that for anything ,i think. If their stomach hurts he says its their sinuses lol What can it be and how do i make it better? Are they not eating right because i do make them eat their vegetables and they love salads, so i was just wondering if i am doin anything wrong or if their is something i can do to make it better!

Take them to the doctor

a sinus infection is caused by bacteria, so if it is sinuses then maybe someone should do a mold test in the house to see if there is a high level of spores. Could also be caused by rapidly changing tempurature. Not sure where you live, but if you live somewhere like Arizona and you're in A/C at 60° for 3 hours, then run outside into 110° for an hour and back and forth all day (i.e. like kids tend to do), then this can sause weird sinus problems too.
Picking of the nose with long fingernails can cause a nasty nose bleed too.
Of course, you're probably best off taking them to a doctor (which I am not) and get professional advice.

Any bleeding that is considered abnormal should be addressed by a physcian.If a person has a tendency to have dry mucus membranes, thay need to get a small bottle of normal saline to mist into each nare (.This will help in keeping each nostral moist.) A moist vaporiser always made me fll better..Your stomach can have some discomfort due to swallowing all that mucus that can aggervate the situation.I hope the little guys get better soon!

It *could* be sinuses. If the air is dry, it can cause bleeding.
Are they picking their noses? I think 2 of my kids had bloody noses at school - and it was from picking their noses. You shoulda heard the teacher/nurse tell me - they were cracking up.
It really should be checked out though- even if he had it done a few yrs ago it never hurts to have it checked out again.
If you're worried about them not eating right - make sure they take their vitamins.

I had nose bleeds alot when I was small. Doctor said it was from the hardening of the mucus which scratched the inside of my nose and prescribed a salve for itto put in my nose. I outgrew the nose bleeds.

you should go to a doctor immediately. if the nose bleeds let it bleed and keep away the children from the direct sunlight. Nose bleeding can mean so much things.

Go in and have their blood drawn at the pediatricians to look for a clotting disorder.
If they have one, then you'll have a plan of action as to how to correct this problem.
