Blood from the nose of a child may appear suddenly- with an active game or even at rest. Abundant blood loss in this case can frighten both the baby and his parents. This is due to the peculiarities of the structure of the child's nasal cavity: the child has a relatively small nose, narrow strokes, the mucous membrane is extremely tender and easily traumatized. In the nasal cavity are many large arteries, which, intertwining, form a whole vascular plexus.

In connection with the proximity of the vessels, even minor injuries can lead to bleeding. There are three types of bleeding:

Minor, moderate and severe, whichare the most dangerous to life. However, if minor bleeding occurs frequently, this may indicate any malfunction in the body.
