Nose bleeds and bleeding tear duct!

Ds aged 7 sufferers from nose bleeds on a regular basis. Normally he will have 3-4 within a short space of time and then will not have another for around a month or so.

Yesterday when I picked him up from school, he was having a nose bleed but blood was also dripping out of one of his tear ducts. He looked like something from a horror movie!

After phone calls to 111 and the GP we were advised to go to a+e. The doctor at a+e has referred us to see someone from the ENT department and prescribed us some antibiotic nose cream.

I'm not sure how long the referral will take and can't find much on google. Has anyone seen this before or know what could've caused it?

Thanks

Well the tear ducts drain into the nose so it's not that surprising some blood might squeeze up through there. See what ent say.
