My 13 years old son is suffering from bleeding nose. Please help.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Bleeding at this age should be evaluated thoroughly there may be a lot of possibilities like a JNA (juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibromas), NPC ( nasopharyngeal carcinoma), nasal polyps hematological causes, etc. So an urgent diagnostic nasal endoscopy with a complete blood count should be done if there is persistent on and off bleeding (profuse) from the nostril. Also, take the history of any trauma to the nose..

What is the treatment for frequent sneezing and running nose?

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. This is a common problem these days with a lot of industrialization and pollution around. Check your eosinophil count by doing a routine blood examination. Check blood IgE level. Do a skin prick allergy test to find out the major cause that triggers this anaphylactic response.
