A member asked:

My daughter is 2 when ever i suction her runny and stuffy nose there is blood mixed with the mucus this had happened for the last two days every time ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common finding: The sensitive linings of the nose has capillaries that break easily with trauma. Suctioning will often stir this up, but it is transient. Often just flooding the nose with nasal saline will loosen the mucous & letting it drain into the stomach is not a problem.
