Question
What are the causes of nosebleeds in children?
Answer
Nosebleeds in children are not uncommon and can be attributed to two main factors. One is the ease of bleeding from the nasal mucosa due to heat, dry weather, and a lack of vitamin C. The other is a decrease in platelets or conditions like hemophilia, which are diseases affecting the blood system. However, these situations are quite rare. It is recommended that you first have your child’s blood routine tested to rule out any blood system diseases.
