Is It Normal To Have Nose Bleeding After An Anesthesia?
I have a 4 year old with neuroblastoma. Is it normal to have nose bleeds 24 hours after an anesthesia? He had a 4 hour anesthesia yesterday, some croup symptoms in recovery. Fine afterwards. Has had 5 nosebleeds in an hour today. Not severe, but still a little concerned.

HI
Thank for asking to HCM
really appreciate your concern looking to the history given here I could say that bleeding per nose after the anesthesia may be possible because of the trauma to the internal nostril while inserting the nasogastric tube, or some time the bleeding can happened at the trachea which then comes out from the nose but this is very rare condition, have a nice day.
