What Causes Nose Bleeds While Sleeping?
My daughter has noseblees at this time of year and has been discharged by ent and given naseptin. However tonight she was asleep and woke up with a nosebleed. I took her into the bathroom and she passed out for a few seconds. She seems to fine and the bleeding only lasted a minute. Should I get it checked out as she fainted. Although I suspect it s happened due to sudden drop in blood pressure as she had been asleep.

usual cause of nose bleed in children is finger pricking, so observe the habbit of child during sleep
other cause is adenoid hypertrophy, if child sleeps with open mouth and always breath through nose then go for x-ray nasopharynx lateral view for adenoid to see the adenoiditis
start steam thrice a day
nasal drops nasoclear 2 drops 3 times a day
liquid paraffin 2 drops 4-5 times/ day
