My 16 Year Old Son’s Nose Has Been Bleeding Frequently,
Probably a normal symptom after a cold, you should not be worried.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
The symptoms of your son seem to be related to an upper respiratory tract infection.
Nosebleeding is a common symptom after this infection.
The infection irritates and dries out nasal membranes.
This cause crusts that may itch and then bleed.
I suggest to use nose lubrificants for local application.
I suggest water-based lubricants, such as K-Y jelly.
I also suggest to give your son a lot of liquids.
I recommend to use a humidifier at home to prevent dry air, which may trigger the symptoms.
He should blow gently the nose into a soft tissue.
You should not be worried, the nosebleeding will pass in a few days.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
