Nosebleeds are common, especially if your child picks their nose. Even though these nosebleeds do not usually cause enough blood loss to be serious, they can occur easily because the blood vessels that line the nose are small and delicate and can easily break. Nosebleeds also can occur because the air is dry and has dried the lining of the nose making it more sensitive. If your child gets a nosebleed from picking their nose, have your child lean forward and breath through their mouth while you pinch their nostrils closed for 5 minutes. If the bleeding has not stopped repeat the process for another 5 minutes. If they bleeding still has not stopped, contact a healthcare provider.
