Satchel's been having nosebleeds for about a month. The doctor gave him some nose spray, but he only remembers to use it 50% of the time. Hence, they continue.
On Monday, he actually had a clot come out of his nose. He insisted that I get it out of the trash can so that he could save it in a plastic container. Then he insisted that I let him call his teacher so he could ask her if he could bring it to school for show and tell. (She said yes!)
Satchel finds it very hard to sit still while his nose is bleeding. He has developed a paper towel & rubberband system so that he can continue to function normally.
Just in case you were feeling sorry for him, here's the full shot.
But seriously, a nose bleed almost every day for a month? I'm not allowing myself to Google "brain tumor symptoms." It may be time for another trip to the doctor.

I used to get nosebleeds a lot as a kid. In fact I still get them sometimes. My dad (who also used to get them) taught me a weird trick, but it works. Roll up a little piece of toilet paper so it kinda looks like a little cigarette. Then put it under his upper lip. It stops the nose bleed very quickly. Hope this helps.
Jack has nosebleeds out of the middle of nowhere... but my sister, now she was a bleeder!! I swear I do not know how she lived through it.. its too disgusting to even talk about:):) but she out grew it..
Do you think it's allergies?
Obviously the Wi is causing the nosebleeds.
When he saw the doc in January, she said it was probably a combination of the cold and dry weather; and that it may continue in the spring with any allergies.
