2 nosebleeds in 2 days

[anon2334]

Hhi,

My daughter who is 9 has had 2 nosebleeds in 2 days. The other day is quite bad never had one before, this evening my mum called me as she staying there and another little one. It's on one side of her nostril and she has developed a habit lately of picking her nose a lot and says its that side. Should I call the GP just to check? Or is common sometimes ?

OP's posts:See all

I had many nose bleeds as a child. I would wake up in the middle of the night to a wet pillow to find my nose bleeding. I happened randomly and bled quite bad. I was seen by dr's who didn't really give us a definitive answer.
I did notice however that I had nose bleeds more on days when I had been in the sun for a long time, or if bumped my head somehow.
