A member asked:

My son is 10 years of age, for the past month he's been having nose bleeding. i always advise him to kneep his nose. now nose bleeding is continuous. yesterday and this morning. please advise what should i do.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Advice: Is it going down the back of his throat or out the front? Does he pick his nose a lot, is it dry? To stop bleeding in the front of nose, put a tampon in. Does he have new bruises or purple spots on his skin? If so, he needs a complete blood count with platelets & coag studies (PT/PTT). If he's bleeding in the back he needs ENT doc to scope & cauterize the bleeder w/ silver nitrate or elec current
