What Cause Trickle In My Left Nostril And Bleeding?
Hello
It's 3.38am here and I've just woken up to bf my baby. I felt a trickle in my left nostril and then all of a sudden, there was a consistent flow of blood.
What does this mean? I don't smoke, am a mother of an almost two year old & a 12 week old.
It couldn't be brain cancer. Of it?! I'm half asleep & thinking the worst, I know, but it really alarmed me!!
Thank you.

Hello! Thank you for writing us here.
Well nose bleeding is common and happens with everyone.
Could be because of dryness of nose or if the temperature is high.
I would suggest you to put some petroleum jelly or similar creams in the nostril and it would prevent the episodes of nose bleeding. Also you can use coconut oil as well.
Plus don't worry you don't have brain cancer.
Best regards
