What Causes Nose Bleeding After Fever?
Hello,
My 4 years old boy, had his nose bleeding right after he woke up from his afternoon nap.
The day before he had fever about 39 C..he no longer has the fever, but I'm worried about the bleeding.He is 1.05 m and he weights 18 kg. If I remember well he had another nose bleeding since he was born. He was born at 36 weeks.
What should I do? Should I take to the doctor tomorrow morning.
Thank you in advance,
Laura

bleeding following fever can be due to infection. basic investigation like CBP with platelet count shold be done and any nasal pathology should be ruled out before that.
