My daughter has always had an issue with bloody noses. We’ve become used to her explosive sneezes, midnight blood lettings, and surprise nose catastrophes. We’ve established a routine to combat the seemingly never-ending stream of blood when these occur, but tonight I thought it would never stop! We battled blot clotting for almost thirty minutes. My question: how often should a normal person have a bloody nose? And, how long is normal for a bloody nose to last?
I’ve grown a lot in my Mommy years, and I’m much more tolerant of bodily fluids than when I began this journey, but sometimes the over abundance of bodily fluids is much too much.
I think there is some official guideline but I can tell you I had bloody noses a lot as a child and eventually had the inside of my nose cauterized sealing off all those little blood vessels. It doesn’t hurt and it stopped them. It was nice to have some blood free years
