Although
they can be scary, nosebleeds are rarely cause for alarm. Common in kids ages 3 to 10
years, nosebleeds often stop on their own and can be treated safely at home.
What to Do
- Stay calm and reassure your child.
- With your child upright in a chair or in your lap, tilt his or her head slightly forward.
- Gently pinch the nose (just below the bony ridge) with a tissue or clean washcloth.
