The most common problem is nosebleeds. If your child has a nosebleed, your nurse will help your child to stop the bleeding. </p> <h2>How is it treated? </h2> <p>Your child’s nurse will monitor the amount of platelet or haemoglobin cells in your child every day. If either count is too low, the nurse will give your child a transfusion of platelets or red blood cells. This is very common after the transplant procedure, and your child may need platelet transfusions every few days. </p> <p>Pressure to the bleeding area can also help. If there is a serious nosebleed, an Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) surgeon will pack a type of gauze around your child’s nose to stop the bleeding. </p>Bleeding after a blood and marrow transplantFalse
