What Causes Nose Bleeds In An Infant?
Hi. My daughter is 17 months and it has been cold so I left the heater on while we slept. I was awaken by her rolling around and blowng her nose in and out as if she had something like cold in it. But when I turned on the light instead of cold it was blood! Her father gets random.nosebleeds occasionally but is tis what s going on with her?

Hello,
It this case, nasal bleed appears to occur after dryness in nasal mucosa due to the heater. If it is too frequent, then we require searching for a cause which could be Angiofibroma, require CT scan of the neck.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
