Hello Angela
The symptoms your son is experiencing can be caused by a variety of related or unrelated possibilities, such as:
Dengue fever Typhoid fever Malaria Blood clotting disorders, and others
Dengue fever is a disease condition caused by a virus that is often characterized by fever. Nosebleeds are one of the danger signs of dengue fever. Other danger signs include loss of consciousness, bleeding gums, black stools, and reddish spots on the body. Typhoid fever is a disease caused by bacteria which is also characterized by a fever. Malaria is a disease condition caused by parasites. Nosebleeds can also be caused by ruptured blood vessels in the nose, blood clotting disorders and others.
With a history of fever >3 days, it's a good idea to take your child to the doctor. Because it is feared that there is a disease suffered by your child that requires immediate treatment.
I hope this helps.
