Ds woke up covered in blood from a massive nosebleed!

[alibobins]

Is this ok or should I see the gp he's 2.9

how is he in himself? Is he ill at all?

Did he fall down yesterday hurting his nose,
or do you think he was picking his nose in the night, is there blood on his finger?

My DD used to get a lot of nosebleeds

IME, it looks like there is a lot of blood when in actual fact there isn't always.

if you're worried, give NHS Direct a ring

Sometimes little ones get nose bleeds from being to hot at night,or from just having a good old scratch!!!
If you are worried take him to see the G.P it won't do any harm just to get him checked out.

was the nosebleed already stopped when he wok up?

This happened to dd2 when she was about 6m old. Freaked me out when she woke in the middle of the night and I looked in her cot! Blood everywhere!

I called the 24h GP service and he thought probably it was a burst blood vessel. Apparently it's common, esp if they have a cold. Give your GP a call if you're concerned.

Hope ds is ok

Not unusual at all some children are just prone to nosebleeds (DH was, looks as though DS is the same way while I've never had one in my life). I wouldn't worry.

Has he had a cold?

yesterday he had a temp and a snotty nose.
Its still bleeding slightly not pooring.

Does he seem well in himself? Temp, pallor, appetite?

Is he just bleeding from his nose?

it's probably just due to a weak blood vessels that's bleeding due to his cold. If it doesn't stop, then take him to the doctors, they'll pack it properly.

This used to happen to DS2 all of the time, one night I actually passed out in the bathroom when I got up to help DH sort him out, he was so covered in blood! It was a very funny scene, me passed out naked on the floor, DS who has white blond hair covered in blood, poor DH not knowing who to help first.
Anyway, that did prompt me to take him to the doctors and we were sent to hospital and they cauterised it. He had been having nosebleeds for about 2 years on and off and he still has the odd one, especially if he gets his nose knocked, but I dont worry about it.

He is slightly poorly and clingly
Have phoned gp and got to take him up at 10.10.

Can't believe its still blleding he woke up at 6.45.

well doctor said its an infection and gave him some antibiotic drops. Said if it hasn't stopped by tea-time then i've got to take him to a&e.

hope it stops and the drops work.

Well fingers crossed it stopped about an hour ago and now all we have is thick green/yellow snot (tmi sorry )

that's a long nosebleed. If it starts again (I'm sure you'll check on him in the night), then I think you may need A&E.

It hasn't been pooring all that while just running constantly with blood iyswim.

Fingers crossed it won't start again in the night he's sleeping with me just incase.
