First of all, hemophilia is quite rare and is an inherited disease. Does anyone else in the family have hemophilia? If not, it is highly unlikely that your son has it. Symptoms depend on what type of hemophilia and what level the clotting factor is. The lower the level of clotting factor, the worse the symptoms are. Severe deficiencies can include: large, deep bruises; unexplained and excessive bleeding from simple cuts or injuries; excessive bleeding after vaccinations or with dental cleanings; blood in urine or stool; spontaneous nosebleeds. A big problem is internal bleeding into a joint or internal organ or the brain from even a minor injury.
That being said, there are many other reasons that your son may bruise easily and have frequent nosebleeds. Simple iron deficiency or other vitamin deficiencies can lead to anemia which causes those issues. If you have any concerns, you should have him evaluated by a physician.
Hope that helps,
