Nose bleeds

[Guest guest]

Hello all -

Just wanted to ask if any of you had experience with nose bleeds. Our

little guy seems to get them frequently. I know that it is still

officially winter and that dries you out, but I just wondered if this

was a common issue.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Hi, my little guy on this diet doesn't have nose bleeds but I also have a

grown 27 year old son and when he was 7 and 8 years old he would have

nose bleeds alot and for no apparent reason. I was told by doctors and

everyone don't worry. Well one night I couldn't stop the bleeding and

rushed him to emergency, they stopped it and took tests and said all was

ok also, but to follow it up with his pedi.. Next day his pedia.

cortarized (spelling?) his nose right in the office and Rob never had a

nose bleed since then. Rob said it didn't hurt either. Might bwe worth

asking your pedi. about

Thanks for the response on nose bleeds - I will talk to the doctor

about it. Your son said it didn't hurt? Maybe we will wait until Vico

has a bit more language before sticking something up his nose - but I

would love to stop these darned things. Sometimes it does seem to

take a while to get them to stop. He now understands that he has

an " owie " on his nose so he will let me put a rag to his nose, before

he would tantrum and push us away and we just had to let him bleed

all over us until it stopped (did I mention on this list that this

happened on an international flight once.... boy were we popular)

Thanks again.

Duh... brain obviously not connected. The saline solution! I have

lots of allergies and my cousin told me about a natural remedy. It is

called a netti pot - don't know if I have that spelled right. I think

it is a Yoga type thing since clear breathing is important for

practicing Yoga. Anyway - it looks like Aladdin's lamp and basically

you fill it with warm spring water and a bit of sea salt. You lean

over the sink and put the end of the " lamp " up one nostril and pour

the water up your nose - the goal is to get the water to come out the

other nostril. (I know, it's gross) After a couple of times and some

coughing and splutering I was actually able to accomplish this! Since

we have moved I can't find my netti pot, so I may have to buy another

one. But - I doubt I could get my son to do this, but I could get a

nasal spray thing with homemade Saline solution to work.

Anyway - I just thought I would share since this netti pot thing was

something that I actually found helpful for my allergies. How could I

have forgotten that? It's not every day you shoot water through your

nose!

Nose Bleeds

I was wondering if anyone has experience with frequent nosebleeds. My

older daughter who is a carrier but doesn't have CF has had several

problems with them. I am sure it has a lot to do with it being winter

but a strange thing keeps happening with them. She gets these really

large clots of blood that come out. Once the clot comes out, we are able

to control the nosebleed but until then it bleeds off and on. I think

part of it may be the little finger which keeps going into the nose

trying to get the clot out but either way I find it strange that she gets

these huge clots of blood that we pull out of her nose. I thought I

would ask you guys since sinus problems are often associated with CF.

Emma had a check-up today. At 30 months old, she weighs (drum roll

please) 30 1/3 pounds. Most of this is from our supplementing her food

with extra calories as she still eats and drinks very little, throws up

at least once a day and has to have all of her food pureed in order to

keep it down. So ... for Emma giving her as many calories as we can has

really worked wonders.

Talk to you later and thanks in advance for your help,

Law - mom to Emma 2 1/2 years old w/cf and Isabelle 4 years old
