Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of nose bleeds which leads to accumulation of reddish collection of mucus in nose which could be because of nasal infection such as polyp formation in nose and allergic rhinitis or rhinosinusitis. Need not to worry. You should avoid touching or picking nose. You should use mist humidifiers in room. I would suggest you to start with antihistamine medication levocetirizine + Montelukast combination at night to decrease it. Give her diet rich in multivitamins along with vitamin C pellet to booster immunity. . Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. Start treatment after complete examination. Get paranasal sinus X-ray done and start treatment acordingly.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
