6 year old sudden nosebleed; cbc good. afraid i have exposed her to something, such as flu. is there anything i can do to keep her well? vac + nov/dec

Confusing post: Nosebleeds in a 6 yo usually represent simple leaking from the sensitive capillaries in the nasal membrane. The membranes are sensitive to dry air, rubbing or picking. They rarely represent anything else & normal CBC confirms it. Flu doesn't cause them. If she's had her flu shot , avoids sick people & washes her hands properly she has the best chance to stay well.

When sick (cold/flu) or stuffy, is it normal to have some chunky bits with blood when you blow your nose? As long as it doesn't keep bleeding (no nosebleed), is there no bleeding issue (ie. too thin)?
