Best Answer

Children, much alike adults, can get bloody noses (epistaxis) from many causes. Trauma is the most common - usually digital trauma from nose picking, but other causes of trauma are common as well.

Another common cause is foreign bodies (food, small toys) shoved up the nose, that begins to decay and will irritate and erode the mucous membranes, causing bleeding.

Other than that, the causes are fairly typical - impacts to the nose, motor vehicle crashes, etc.

Is 3 bloody noses in roughly 2 weeks normal?

For some people this is normal, but do try to avoid them from happening. If the weather changes often, some people get bloody noses when there is a lot of weather changes (Hot to cold, cold to hot etc.). I suggest you do the following to avoid more bloody noses form occurring: 1. Spray some Nasal Spray in your nose. 2. Put a cold ice bag on top of your nose. 3. Lay down. If the bloody nose was caused because someone punched you, then just use plenty of ice. If it doesn't heal within two or three says, go visit a doctor. Use judgement- If you know the bloody noses are causing a lot of blood loss, go for medical help right away. Small amounts isn't alarming.
