Kid's nose bleeds: The 3 most common reasons for nose bleeds in a 4 y/o are picking the nose, picking the nose and picking the nose. The child may be putting a finger in there when you are not aware. Also, dryness in the winter can cause mucosal irritation and cause the bloody nose. Use nasal saline spray/rinse and make sure child is not picking or rubbing nose a lot.

It happens: Nasal irritants, be it dust/smoke/fragrance/cleaning fumes/etc.All trigger a reaction in the nasal linings of a small kid.This leads them to itch/pick whether conscious of it or during light sleep.Often these kids wake to a bloody pillow. Nasal saline gel before bed and nasal washout with saline rince can avoid the problem.
