Question 1

1yrold hit on her head cried and vomited after an hour later had food slept normally morning i noticed a drop of dried blood in nose no other symptoms?

Accepted Answer

Several cues: The kid who is not knocked out, disoriented or confused @ the time of the injury is probably fine. Confusion or repeated episodes of vomiting in the hours after trauma deserve a look over by the dr.Kids under 8 can be allowed to nap on their regular schedule, with you checking in on occasion.They wake up and barf with a change of status.Any change in personality deserves a visit.

Question 2

Accepted Answer

Bloody nose: His bloody nose is due to broken capillaries in his nose. Use valine nose drops several ,times a day.

Question 4

can dried blood from a bloody nose transmit hiv or aids?

Accepted Answer

No: Hiv seems to require living white cells to survive for any length of time, all viruses are fragile and most cannot tolerate drying, and casual household contacts of hiv-positive people even before treatment simply didn't catch it. Relax. You won't get sick.

Accepted Answer

Need check up: It could just be gingivitis, gum disease, but that does not explain your nose bleed. 
Please go to an urgent care. You need to be examined, blood work etc.

Question 7

i woke up with blood in my mouth this am. my throat seemed dry causing me to wake up and causing me to cough a couple times. i don't have bloody nose?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: Could be a dental or gum issue, could be a slight bleed from a small superficial vessel in your throat or back of your tongue. If you have been taking Aspirin or non steroidal antiinflammatory medication it can make a tiny amount of blood more significant. Out of 100 people i see with stories like yours i find only 1 or 2 with anything significant. I still would recommend you see an ENT doctor.

Question 8

for 2 days i have had dried blood in nose &  i clear throat a few streaks of blood in mucus spit out. clear chst x-ray 3 mth ago. causes? lung cancer?

Accepted Answer

Nose bleed: The bleeding you are describing seems to be coming from the nose. This can be either because your nose is dry or you may have a sinus problem. Start by using a saline nasal spray 2 to 3 times a day and see if your condition improves. If not, see an otolaryngologist or allergist.

Question 9

sometimes clots of blood in nose?

Accepted Answer

Intermittent bleed: Where there is blood, there are clots. You may be having intermittent bleeding within your nose. The causes can be local trauma, dry air drying the nose, or help with thin blood as when your platelets are not working.

Question 10

blood in nose?

Accepted Answer

Common: Blood in the nose is very common especially in drier colder climates. The tissues inside the nose are very delicate and easily injured and when injured can bleed. A little bit of blood once in a while on a tissue is usually nothing to be concerned about. More significant amounts of blood may be of concern and should merit a visit to an ENT doctor.
