Dr. Wang Qiuyue
There are numerous causes of epistaxis (nosebleeds) in children. These may include dry weather leading to nasal mucosal fissures and subsequent bleeding, or frequent nose-picking. Medical conditions such as sinusitis, hematologic disorders, platelet dysfunction, or upper respiratory tract infections may also contribute. Additionally, trauma—including facial injury or nasal bone fracture—can cause epistaxis.
