What Causes Bleeding Of Nose Quite Often?

Hi Doctor, Myself Sophia, My son is 5.5 yrs and he gets bleeding from nose often like every 15 to 20 days, and when it starts bleeding it takes a lot of time to stop. I consulted a paediatrician she said to consult an ENT specialist. He has got fever and feeling very tired too. Whereas he was never like that before as he is very active boy and never sits in a place but from 3 - 4 days he says that he s tired and will take rest. Due to this I wanted to know whether it is a serious problem or it is common now a days. Actually i m really very scared.

Nose bleeding in this age group is mainly due to nose pricking. once a vessel gets injured while pricking the vessel becomes fragile and prone for rebleeding. I think at present your child is suffering from viral infection which is causing the fever and tiredness. It also causes stuffy nose which makes the child involuntarily to put his finger in nose causing repeated bleed.
