The clots themselves: are not concerning and certainly some children do get frequent nosebleeds. If she is otherwise healthy and has no other bleeding problems, there is nothing too concerning.

Air humidifier and saline get to her nose may also lessen the frequency.

Epistaxis : 80% of people experience this in their lives. A common cause is dry, hot air in the western US, causing nasal dryness and crusting. The nasal tissue cracks and bleeds easily. Treatment includes humidification in bedroom, nasal saline sprays &amp; sometimes vaseline in the nose. It's not a major health hazard, but should an ENT doctor who can better evaluate. There may be problems not seen by PCM.

Question 10

never had nosebleeds before 4 months ago.  now get them 1-2 times a month, always left nostril.  is it possible a clot never formed the 1st time?

Accepted Answer

NOPE: formation of a clot is what stops the bleeding.  The problem is it keeps happening, so the clot goes through the cycle of going away and the it bleeds again.  Could be from dry nasal membranes or other problems in nose.  best to have nasal evaluation to determine source of recurrent bleeding.
