my daughter who is 5yrs old has nose bleeds when the season changes .Her Dr says it is all ok any advice pleas

Answer 1

she's probably just getting used to the season changes. i used to get them all the time. if it keeps happening maybe think about nose caughterisation (sorry about the spelling). I've had both mine done, i haven't had one since i was 8 =]

Answer 2

My youngest, who is now 15, had the most spectacular nose bleeds from the age of ten months until about two years ago; and they seemed to have no real cause; sometimes a change in air pressure could give him a nose bleed - and by that I mean driving up a steep road could make it bleed! Plane travel, a slight cold, seasonal changes, you name it. My G.P. said it was fine, a weak vein was causing the bleed, and he mentioned possibly cauterizing the vein if it was very troublesome.

He grew out of it; I guess when he hit puberty it may have had some beneficial side effect. I never panicked; I just used to say, "oops, a gusher," and kind of make a joke about it.

Answer 3

I had nightly nose bleeds as a child especially during dry heat environments- outside or dry air in the house- My daughter has had frequent nose bleeds as well- I grew out of it- It did reoccur during pregnancy ( probably due to elevated body temperature). This was heavy bleeding lasting from 15-30 minutes -- Al I did was apply a cool compress to the head and elevated hid on pillow just slightly to keep the blood from rushing out. This worked about 955 of the time. If your is worse or persist- contact your doctor again or get 2nd opinion.

Answer 4

My 2 year old son has had a few nose bleeds in his day. And they seem to be around the season change. I asked his doctor and she said that it's normal. It's from breathing in the dry cold air. She recommend having him sleep with a humidifier in the room, but she didn't say it was necessary.

Answer 5

This just started with my 3 year old son, I bought a humidifier and when he is sleeping I put it on. He hasn't had a nose bleed in 2 weeks.

Answer 6

well my son is 5 years old too and he's constantly bleeding everywhere so im constantly washing all the time. I took him into the dr.s office and she said he's fine (thank God) but she did tell me its because his nose gets dry inside and I could just get a little vaseline and rub it on the inside of his nose, since then he hasnt had nose bleeds, he knows its been helping because he puts it in his self now when he starts getting irritated in his nose. well hope this helps and good luck....

Answer 7

Any chance your daughter actually gets a cold or stuffy nose when the weather changes? That's actually really common.

I'm inclined to suggest she's actually trying to de-booger her nose.

If that's not the case, it could just be really dry. Either way, see if she will allow you to use a saline nasal spray (like the Little Noses spray). It'll help it from getting so dry. Dryness also causes boogers, so weather it's caused from the dry weather itself, or from picking her nose, that'll probably take care of it.

Answer 8

I do this for myself put a little bit of neosporin on a q tip a gently rub it in the surface of her nose, not to much. It will help heal and moisturise. Get humidifiers in the months you use heaters.

Answer 9

Changes in the air, the air gets dryer and more humid. Try to stabilize her sinuses by putting a humidifier in her room at night.

Answer 10

It could be seasonal allergys. Maybe you can try some allergy medications, and some nasal lubricants. You can either buy these over the counter, or have your doctor prescribe some medication for her. Good luck.
