My grandson had a nose bleed at school, and while this was happening the teacher noticed his eye was bleeding! it was a couple drops! what's this?

Blood in tear duct: Everyone has a nasolacrimal duct that drains the xs tears from the medial corner of the eye into the nose. If you block the nostrils and blow hard or pressure builds up in the nasal cavity with fluid, then it may reverse and come out the duct. Most commonly, this is seen with repetitive sneezing and watery nasal congestion. In this situation, it was blood.

Probably trauma: If there has been any trauma to the eye, your grandson needs to be seen urgently at an ED to rule out any serious injury to eye that may affect his vision.

Don't worry!: There is a connection between the nose and the eye called the lacrimal duct, and sometimes with nosebleeds there can be a retrograde (reverse) flow of fluid (in this case blood) from the nasal passage up the lacrimal duct and into the eye! It looks scary, but there is nothing wrong with his eye!
