Hi... by what you say I feel that he is expecting that there could be a hemangioma in the nasal cavity which is causing profuse and frequent bleeds like this. Probably he wants to explore the nasal cavity and confirm the same. That is the reason why he wants this exploration to be done under general anaesthesia. But as a pediatrician I would also like to rule out bleeding disorders and platelet related disorders also. I would investigate with prothrombin time, activated thromboplastin time, and platelet count.
