Hello. Thank you for your question. Nosebleeds are a common complication of seasonal allergy. The eye drops are a good idea. I recommend discussing other oral medications with your doctor. Benadryl is a short acting antihistamine. Your daughter may fare better with something long acting, like cetirizine. Additionally, saline nose drops and baseline applied to the nostril openings will help with the nosebleeds.
