What Do Intermittent Nose Bleeds In A Child Indicate?
My daughter is 6 years old. She has been having nose bleeds for about 1 year now, it is not all the time, I think about 5 to 10 times in the last year. No one or any object will have hit or touched her and it will just start bleeding. It doesn t bleed for long or for a long period of time, and I was just wondering what might be causing her nose to bleed?
