ds1 has had 4 nosebleeds in the last 2 weeks

[Squidmission]

Is it the heat? Is it common?
Dh is really worried (and he's made me anxious) as his brother had frequent nosebleeds and was then diagnosed with leukaemia.

Anyone advise?

How old is your DS? DD1 had frequent nosebleeds at about 9-10 yrs old - quite dramatic ones which prompted lots of complaints from her teacher

She had to have her nose cauterised a couple of times which sorted it out.

By the way, DD2 had leukaemia and I don't remember her ever having nosebleeds.

Squid, is he a 'picker'? (sorry!)

If not, then it may be worth a trip to the docs

He is 5 and definitely wasn't picking at any of the times he had a nosebleed.

He had one nosebleed last year but 4 in 2 weeks had dh worried.One was very heavy but the others were not too bad. I'm sure its nothing and maybe his nose wasn't fully healed or something?
I guess I'll just see how he goes.
Thanks.
