My small son 4 yrs bleeds from the nose suddenly when he is playing or if he hurts his nose a little.
the doctor i consulted says it is not an issue to be worried, it is due to some bent blood vessal.
But I am really worried when I see my son bleeding, could you please suggest a place where i can get this treated.I am also planning to take a holiday in asia so i would like to make it a medical value travel.

Hi sumn,

Treatment For Nosebleeds
Many physicians suggest any of the following lubricating creams or ointments. They can all be purchased without a prescription: Bacitracin, A and D Ointment, Eucerin, Polysporin, and Vaseline. Up to three applications a day may be needed, but usually every night at bedtime is enough. A saline nasal spray will also moisten dry nasal membranes.

If the nosebleeds persist, your doctor may recommend cauterization (sealing) of the blood vessel that is causing the trouble. If this is required, it is a simple procedure, and can be done in India or Thailand if you are travelling there.

Hello sumn,

The Doctor would recomend you any one of the following treatment based on the causes...

The doctor will try to find out where the bleeding is coming from in the nose. He will examine the nose. If the bleeding doesn't stop on its own or with pressure applied, the doctor may cauterize the bleeding vessel or pack the nose to stop the bleeding.

Cauterization involves using special solutions or an electrical or heating device to burn the vessel so that it stops bleeding. Your doctor will numb your nose before the procedure.

Packing the nose involves putting special gauze or an inflatable latex balloon into the nose so that enough pressure is placed on the vessel to make it stop bleeding.

Hi,
Bleeding from the nose because of bent bloodvessal is a problem mostly seen in children. Dont get unduly worried about it, take care so that the child does not exert himself too much. As the child ages this problem will be seen less often ar may disapear altogeather.
Only in case the problem increases you can opt for the treatment mentioned above.

have a proper check up...bleeding from nose creates exert pressure on CNS (central nervous system)
