   What is the treatment for a child with von Willebrand disease?

   • The treatment for a child with von Willebrand disease will depend on the type of vWD and the severity of symptoms. If a child has a nosebleed, pinching the bridge of the nose for ten to fifteen minutes can often stop it. Once a clot is formed, antifibrinolytic medications such as Amicar may be used to keep the clot in place longer.
