What Causes Constant Nose Bleeds, Sore Throat And Cold In Kids?
My two children aged 9 (son) and daughter aged 6 both get nose bleeds quite a lot, especially in the last week. We live in a high humidity place. They have also been unwell with sore throats and colds. Should I be concerned about the constant nose bleeds?

Hi...if the kids are otherwise healthy, recurrent nose bleeds could be due to habit of nose picking (very common). The other issue is to be ruled out clinically by taking thorough history.
if I were your kids' treating pediatrician, I would suggest doing a basic blood work up with CBC, PT, aPTT and also have a check of the blood pressure.
If everything is normal then I would only reassure you.
