Hello,
The nosebleeds are not so important in young kids. Sometimes picking a nose or a fragile mucosal lining can cause them.
Since you say the bleeding was severe I can advise you to do a total blood count and platelets count together with coagulation factors tests.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
