Hi @marla80, and welcome to Connect. I'm Alyse, and I'm one of the community moderators here. I'm sorry to hear about your son's frequent and heavy nose bleeds. Have you talked with your son's surgeon or primary doctor regarding this?

I found some information on self-care and prevention for frequent nose bleeds that I think you may find helpful (http://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/nosebleeds/basics/when-to-see-doctor/sym-20050914).
