What immediate first aid and next steps should I take for my son's recurring nosebleeds, including his most recent one from being hit in the nose, especially since he was previously prescribed Celin tablets?
For immediate first aid, have him sit upright, lean slightly forward, and gently pinch the soft part of his nose for 10 full minutes. Avoid tilting his head back. Celin (vitamin C) helps support blood vessel strength but won't stop active bleeding. To prevent dryness, you can use saline nasal drops. Since this latest episode followed a minor injury, it is best to have his pediatrician evaluate him to ensure his nose is healing safely.
