Nosebleeds in small children are a common problem, and here are some possible causes and ways to deal with them:
First of all, nosebleeds may be caused by the child drinking less water and being picky eaters. In addition, nose picking and nose picking may also cause damage to the nasal mucosa. Therefore, children should drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid picky eating, and do not pick their noses or pick their noses.
Secondly, if the child has repeated bleeding, it is recommended to go to the otolaryngology department of the hospital for examination. Your doctor may do complete blood tests and coagulation tests to rule out a blood disorder.
In addition, some children have nosebleeds accompanied by frequent nasal itching and nose rubbing, which may be caused by allergic rhinitis. For this condition, a physiologic saline nasal spray or combined menthol nasal drops** can be used, along with oral montelukast sodium or cetirizine.
If the bleeding is reversed or the bleeding does not stop, emergency hemostasis can be used. You can pinch both nostrils, lower your head, and hold for 3-5 minutes while applying a cold compress to your nose and forehead. Alternatively, you can press the nostril on the bleeding side toward the nasal septum for 5 minutes. If needed, the nasal cavity on the bleeding side can be tamped with a clean cotton ball, which usually stops the bleeding quickly.
In short, nosebleeds in children may be caused by nasal mucosal damage caused by drinking less water, partial eating, picking the nose, picking the nose, etc. If the bleeding is reversed or does not stop, it is recommended to seek medical examination to rule out the possibility of blood disease. For the condition accompanied by nasal itching and nose rubbing, the corresponding ** method can be taken. In an emergency, hemostasis measures can be taken to control bleeding.
