[QUOTE="eekysign, post: 259007, member: 6479"] As as side note to the headaches---have you gotten him evaluated for those? A kid his age shouldn't be on regular doses of OTC painkillers. And if he's not getting it fairly regularly, the effects of an ibuprofen every week or two shouldn't be enough to cause nosebleeds on its own. It's an NSAID, so it [I]can[/I] cause blood thinning, but it's nowhere near the effectiveness of, say, aspirin, for that. It's totally possible he's just one of the unlucky super-sensitives to NSAIDs, but either way---how much is he taking OTC pain medications? None of those are really great for your body, long-term. Oh, and welcome. ;) [/QUOTE]
