nose bleeds

[M44]

wise people.....how bad does a nose bleed have to be before you consider casualty.
ds(5) has had 2 huge bleeds today-one awake and one asleep. I checked him before I went to bed...fine...but has had a huge bleed in his sleep-sopping t shirt front and back, chucking pillow away etc. Stopped for now....if it happens again in night what would you do?

.

I used to have huge nosebleeds as a child to no apparent I'll effect. I would be standing over the sink for half an hour to 45 mins at a time.

It would leave me pale looking and if it was a big one I would need to rest for an hour or so to recover.

So I would not worry too much. If he becomes hard to rouse or dizzy you should probably seek help immediately. Have you discussed it with your GP?

No.....it only happened today.Took an hour to stop the one in the night. Poor little thing.THen took him another 2 hrs to go back to sleep. Good start to the hols!!
