It’s important to know that while some syrups can cause side effects, frequent nosebleeds are not commonly reported with most medications given to children.

In general, certain medications—especially those that affect blood clotting or contain steroids—might increase the risk of nosebleeds, but this is uncommon. If an 8-year-old child is experiencing nosebleeds two or three times a day, it is essential to consider other possible causes such as:

• Nasal dryness or irritation
• Allergies
• Infections
• Underlying bleeding disorders

Here are some steps you should take:

• Stop the medication temporarily and consult your pediatrician immediately.
• Observe for other symptoms like easy bruising, bleeding from other areas, or signs of infection.
• Keep the nasal passages moist using saline nasal sprays or a humidifier to reduce irritation.

Prompt evaluation by a pediatrician is important to determine whether the syrup is contributing to the nosebleeds or if further medical investigation is needed to identify other causes. This will help ensure the child’s safety and appropriate treatment.
