Suggest Treatment For Nose Bleeding When Sneezed In Kids
My grand daughter is 5 and when she sneezed really hard this morning, her nose started bleeding badly. She felt she needed to blow her nose and when she did a dime-sized thing came out with the blood. The bleeding has stopped now but I am very concerned about what is was.

Hello,
Bleeding from nose is common in children so please do not worry. Your granddaughter must have injured her nose while picking at her nose leading to a clot formation. When she sneezed the clot could have dislodged leading to nose bleeding. This is the commonest cause of nose bleeding.
Consult an ENT specialist if she has frequent and recurrent episodes of nose bleeding.
Hope that helps.
