I've heard of nose bleeds for a number of reasons some of which have been mentioned here. (dry air, allergies, picking noses)
To stop the nose bleeds - pinching helps as well as ice. If you place ice in a towel on the nose it will constrict the blood vessels.
I would call his pediatrician as well just to rule out a more serious condition.
Bright Blessings!

My son who is 7 does this and it started around age 6. The nurse where I worked suggested, that I put a little vasline with a cutip in his nostrils, because it's dry which his causing it to bleed. He doesn't have it as much now.

my daughter had this also this spring. First time ever. Nose bleeds (big ones) a couple of times a day. Must be spring allergies or something... after about 3-4 days it stopped.

i used to get a lot of bloody noses because of allergies. If it was too dry (my nose) or if i sneezed too much i would break blood vessels in my nose. I had to go to the doctor and they carterized the blood vessels ( i dont think i spelt that right). maybe thats the issue?

dont worry just take care not to hurt or give his nose a jerk any time.
it will go with time
the blood vessels thru nose have extra thin walls in some cases and this leads o the condition u have for ur kid.
the doc says it will heal itself as the kid matures

i might watch to work out if she is choosing it. additionally it must be dry. you need to verify to work out how dry her nostril is. i does not hardship till it keeps yet whilst it keeps i might get it regarded at. i think of a bleeding nostril can specially circumstances be a demonstration of a few thing like low iron/anemia. i replaced into very ill whilst i replaced into sixteen years previous and that i had nostril bleeds for all time by way of anemia.

My brother had a similar thing, and it was a potassium deficiency. bananas and oranges helped bring up his levels. Then doc also put him on a multi-vitamin.
