Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 11-year old son has had 4 severe nosebleeds lasting upwards of an hour in the last 2 days. All have been spontaneous and with thick clots. Two of these were when he was resting, two when he was having a heated moment with a sibling (words only, nothing physical) We ve taken him to the ER twice now only to be told he needs saline sprays to combat the dryness and not to worry so much. He s in good shape otherwise. I want to take him to his primary doctor but his dad thinks I m overreacting.
Hi...nose dryness explanation is acceptable but only after ruling other causes like high blood pressure or nose picking habit or bleeding disorder or low platelet count. I suggest you get hi evaluated by his paediatrician. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
