My son gets bloody nose from time to time, even in the summer. I bought a humidifier for his room, and he doesn't get bloody nose at night anymore. For a daytime, I put a little bit of Vaseline in his nostrils. It seems to help as well. He's been OK for few months now.

Thank you, ScifiChick. :28: I have tried the vasoline before, it unfortunately only works for about 2 hours. I'll have to look into the humidifier though- that's a good idea. It's for my daughter too- she is just so prone to the darn things, and they last a long time too. I feel so bad for her- especially when they'd come in the middle of the night... she'd be a total mess, have to change her sheets, and she's crying....... just melts a mom's heart. :cry:
(I'm sure you know just what I mean).

I recall some ritual/spell that involved dripping a drop of blood on fresh earth and saying something, but for the life of me I can't remember where I saw it. I'll keep looking.

I think humidifier really helps. I got one for about $25, so you can find it pretty cheap :) I think maybe it helps during the day too, because even though he only has it going at night, he hasn't had any nosebleeds at school. And it does suck. He would just have blood pouring out of his nose, I didn't even know before it can bleed so much :( Good luck with your daughter!
