Suggest Treatment For Nose Bleeds After Tonsil Removal
My 7 year old daughter had her tonsils and adenoids removed about 18 months ago; since then every time she gets a touch of the cold she suffers bad nose bleeds- usually between 3& 6 bleeds over the couple of days she has the cold. Is this usual after this procedure? She never had nose bleeds prior to surgery.

Hello. I just read though your question.
This is not a typical complication of the procedure. You can always try saline nose drops when a cold is coming on. This could potentially prevent the next nosebleed form happening. If the nosebleeds persist, I recommend consulting with your doctor to discuss a referral to an ENT.
