My DD is 11 weeks and has had 2 colds since she was born. She has an older sister who is in school and whilst they’ve not been bad colds I am worried as each time, she has had some blood in her snot.
I’ve used a saline spray, snot sucker/picker, probably more the first cold she had and was so scared after I saw the blood I stopped. The blood in her snot appeared after her cold had subsided last time.
This time I’ve only used the saline spray, but she was so congested yesterday I used to snot sucker very gently and today she has some blood in her snot again.
I saw the GP about this after the first time who said she may have a cut or polyp but queried if we should have a blood test which scared me to death and he was quite serious. He said if it happens again I need to go back, so I’ll call tomorrow but want to know if anyone else has experience of this particularly in a baby so young?
My other DD always has a bit of blood in her snot after a heavy cold and no other time, but worrying as my new baby is so little.
It’s not a lot of blood, typically is out in one or two ‘bogies’ if that makes sense. It doesnt m return the next day and after the cold clears it goes back to normal but shes only 11 weeks so hardly had a good run of this not happening. Any advice or experiance welcome, TIA.
