12 months infirm near giant restlessness and bloody proboscis?
Most epistaxis (nose bleeds) is benign. With a temp of 103, it would not be surprising to find that the child is dehydrated. Dried mucus membranes, such as those found in the nasal passage, can crack and the fragile capillary can bleed. I obviously can't see how blood there is and if it's medically significant. Have you contacted his pediatrican?
not uncommon fro hugely young children to run high fevers. Give the child Children's Liquid Tylenol according to the dosing instructions and recheck the temp (get a rectal) one hour after respectively dose. Encourage him to drink cool water/juice or offer him popsicles and he can sit in a tepid tub for 30 minutes while you sponge him with water. Got a wading pool?
Use a Q-tip to apply somewhat Vaseline just inside the nostrils or use a commercial saline nasal spray (better). If after 12 hours you see no improvement with any the temp or the epistaxis, contact his pediatrician and follow her/his advice. And want him to aspirate blood. Keep it level. Source(s): I'm a nurse.
For goodness sake achieve him to a doctor, we are not doctors. I know for sure for the fever wrap him in a very cold towel or at least possible wipe him down with it. I know I;ve been there but the nosebleeds?? Go to a doctor.
