Any parents here experience LO having nose bleed??? My 2yr old son had a fall and injured his right nostril so whenever he cries and/or scratch his nose.. he will bleed alot! 2 trips to KKH and both doctors said same thing- must wait for internal injury to self heal and to apply ointment 3 times a day and press nose bridge to stop bleeding. My husband and I are both at our wits end. No. 1) He would cry-randomly at night and won't stop until a few minutes. 2) He refuse any1 to touch his nose. 3) We are v worried abt the amt of blood he loses each day. p.s: im 5 months pregnant and my firstborn son has been extra clingy. he will be seeing a ear nose throat specialist nxt wends.

I agree with the Yuna and Jacq, there is little we can do but wait for it to heal on its own. I guess he is pretty upset and irritable about the injury, so the best thing you can do right now is to make him feel as comfortable as possible. What sort of activities and foods does he like? Maybe you can indulge him in that. You should also try to relax yourself. My boy was also very clingy to me when I was pregnant but when the baby was out, he sensed that he has more responsibility as a big brother and he became more independent. As for the amount of blood loss, I don't think it's cause for alarm. Just do as the doctor ordered, pinch his nose, put his chin down and eventually it will stop. Hope this helps and hoping your tot will be better soon :-)
