Is it to be concerned about dry blood in child's nostril?
Patient: My 13 year old son's nostril constantly have dried blood and it looks gross. I have him clean his nostrils and moisturize with vaseline, we use the cool mist humidifier. The condition only goes away when he takes antibiotics, but I do not want him on antibiotics constantly.  He has been tested for allergies and gets allergy shots. This all started 2 years ago when a dr prescribed a nose spray Doctor: Hi,Welcome to Hcm,I can't boil down to a specific problem in your child. However, I get a feeling that you are over treating him probably for something and that's what is causing this issue. Some local applicants in the nose can cause irritation over the skin of the nostril which can cause bleeing at the tip. I would suggest you to consult an ent specialist so that a proper examination of the nose could be done to rule out any local problem. Take care.
