My toddler (15 months old) had nosebleed three times already within 2 weeks. I brought him to paediatrician, he said that it is common for toddler with sensitive nose to have nosebleed. And he said, there is nothing wrong with him, just his nose is overly sensitive and it will happen again and again.
I am very worried as he is still so young, only 15 months. The first two times when my son had nosebleed, the blood gushed out from one of his nostril. This afternoon, I found out that his nostril had dried blood again.
Anyone ever experience like this? What I should do to prevent him from having nosebleed again? Thanks a lot

Your paediatrician is probably right. Nosebleeds can occur at any age, even in young toddlers. If it recurs, it may be worth checking with an Ear Nose Throat specialist to have the inside of his nose checked for any bleeding points.

Moister air, and a dab of Vaseline up the nose can help. Keep the head of his bed elevated a bit too.
