Why My 6 Years Old S Nose Is Bleeding?
Hello. My 6-yr old daughter fell and bumped her head this morning, i dont how hard it was, she fell from about 3 feet but it only left a small and not swelling bump. she did not fall unconscious or show other signs of concussion. but this night while taking a bath, her nose bled. it stopped, but happened again while on her sleep. What should we do?

bleed from the nose could be due to epistaxis. just because the blood supply around our anterior part of the nose is abundant, its more prone for bleeds. repeated pricking of the same area could also cause bleeds. small amount of blood in streaks is not worrisome. just make her sit up leaning forward and apply ice pack with gentle pressure on the bleeding area while breathing through mouth. bleed will stop in few minutes
