Summer means more frequent nose bleeds, especially for children!

They can be benign as expected due to the weather, but if prolonged and frequent, suggest to seek an ENT consult to make sure everything's fine!

Nosebleeds Are More Frequent in Summer

Dry heat can irritate the nasal lining.

If a nosebleed occurs:Pinch the soft part of the nose and lean forward for 10–15 minutes.

Seek care if bleeding is prolonged or frequent.

Herpangina: A Common Summer Viral Infection

Herpangina is a viral infection that causes fever, sore throat, and painful mouth sores. It is more common during summer because viruses spread faster in warm weather and children have more close contact during travel and outdoor activities.

How to prevent:
• Encourage frequent handwashing
• Avoid sharing utensils, cups, or towels
• Keep children well hydrated
• Maintain clean surroundings

Watch for: Fever, mouth sores, sore throat, and difficulty swallowing.

Consult an ENT specialist if symptoms persist, worsen, or if signs of dehydration appear.
