3 year old with nose bleeds
Posted: 04-28-08 11:50am

My son has had a bloody nose the past two evenings. I haven't been running a humidifier since spring has broke and the house has been open. We have not been running the furnace either. Should I still run the humidifier or could this be something else?

You can try running the humidifier, but if you have the windows open, it isn't going to do much good. You should try an enhanced nasal spray or gel. Neosporin used about three times a day will keep his nose moist too.

Do you think the spring allergies are just getting to him a lot?
I used to get bloody noses around this time due to pollen. It would explain a lot especially because you have been keeping the windows open. Pollen comes in.
