Hi my 10 yr old daughter has suddenly started having major nose bleeds( 9 since last Thursday) Swimming seems to bring them on but she has also woken up in the morning with one twice. If I take her to awalk-in clinic tonightwould they beable to cauterize it, and will she be able to swim after having it done? .
Hi Dear, Welcome to Chat Doctor. Understanding your concern. As per your query your daughter have symptoms of nose bleeds which leads to accumulation of reddish collection of mucus in nose which could be because of nasal infection such as polyp formation in nose and allergic rhinitis or rhinosinusitis. Need not worry. You should avoid touching or picking nose. You should use mist humidifiers in room. I would suggest you to start with antihistamine medication levocetirizine + Montelukast combination at night to decrease it. Give her diet rich in multivitamins along with vitamin C pellet to booster immunity. . Visit pediatrician once and get it examined. Start treatment after complete examination. Get paranasal sinus X-ray done and start treatment accordingly. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
