What Causes Nose Bleeds?
My 3 yr old has had a runny and stuffy nose the last week. Sometimes it gets really dry and other times runny. Today he has been throwing a fit and crying for at least an hr. After showering and going to be he started to have a nose bleed. Did the crying and all the mucus cause this ?
