Hi, is it normal for 1.5 years old to suffer from frequent nose bleed? Does anyone has similar experience.
My nephew has been suffering from nose bleed quite frequently, started when he was about 14months old.
His paed said it's ok. But is it???

Some kids do. I did until well into my teens. Blew my nose hard and off I went. Unless there are other symptoms there's really not much else to it.
Try not to blow the nose too hard or too much. Stop him from picking his nose. The latter can only be achieved if no one in the household picks their nose in front of him.
If a nosebleed starts, hold the head high and apply pressure to the nose (close it) with a kleenex or some such.

This is actually quite common. Persisting nosebleeds are sometimes treated by the ENT specialist, however they are usually innocent and self limiting.
Your doctor probably advised you on proper management (see http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/healthy/firstaid/basics/132.html ) and checked for unusual causes such as foreign bodies, infections, allergies.

Thanks Amanda. It's not N. it's his cousin.

My daughter found if she was in airconditioning too much, she'd get nosebleeds. If you can increase the humidity of the room, it helps. Also, a wee smear of Vaseline up the nose can coat the inside and reduce the chance of bleeding.
