@drowenyuan: A 7-Year-Old's Nosebleeds at Night — Is It Something Serious? A de-identified real ENT consultation: a 7-year-old boy's nose blocks up at night as if mucus is stuck that he cannot blow out, and he gets nosebleeds from time to time — sometimes from picking his nose, sometimes for no obvious reason — on and off for a year, while his blood tests are normal and the bleeding always stops on its own. Dr. Owen Yuan explains why this is usually not serious, how picking, rubbing and blowing injure an already inflamed nasal lining, the strict no-touch rule that lets the lining heal in 1–2 weeks, the rhinitis treatment that keeps it from coming back, and when nasal endoscopy or cautery would actually be needed.
