At their young age the tissues in the nasal passages are thin and tear easily.

contrary to the Doc, it is because Chuck norris travels the world punching children in the face so that they will fear The Chuck for the rest of their lives.

They pick.

I still occasionally get nose bleeds. For me, it is when the air is too dry. My nephew has the same problem.

Stop punching them.

It can be because the humidity is too low, the tissues are more delicate than in older folks, or the kid has undiagnosed respiratory allergies, picks his nose, or plays too roughly. Apparently, the veins are closer to the surface in some children so that even blowing their nose too hard will start a nosebleed. And then there is the traditional situation, where the child has stuck something up there.

In any case, if a child has a lot of nosebleeds, it is a good idea to have a doctor take a look just in case a vein needs to be cauterized, or a bean or some other small object needs to be removed.

I have the same problem as @Marina, but I did get them a lot more when I was young. Then again, my mother smoked like a fiend. That probably had something to do with it. I had all sorts of ear/nose/throat problems that I attribute to her habit.

i’ve never gotten a nose bleed! so proud. (:

i agree with @chyna
