3. Foreign Objects in the Nose

Inserting small objects into the nose is almost a rite of passage for children, but these rough items can easily damage the skin inside little noses. If a child has a foreign object lodged in their nose, gently blow it out from the other nostril, to avoid scraping the nasal skin and causing nosebleeds. Similarly, excessive picking of the nose can lead to nosebleeds. Use a soft tissue to dislodge excess mucus or dirt, instead of your finger. The abrasions caused by your nails can give you a nosebleed.
