Nasal itching and nosebleeds are often caused by allergic rhinitis, dry nasal mucosa, or similar conditions. In children, nasal itching and nosebleeds primarily result from allergic rhinitis, which leads to dryness of the nasal mucosa and subsequent nosebleeds. Some nasal sprays, if used long-term, may also cause drying of the nasal mucosa. Therefore, if your child experiences nasal itching or nosebleeds, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
