What to check for a child's nose bleeding

Children are naughty and often bump into things which can easily lead to nose bleeding, which is a very normal thing. However, if a child frequently has nosebleeds, it is important to pay attention. Nosebleeds without reason may be an external manifestation of other diseases. Take the child to the hospital for relevant examinations in time. Only when the cause is found can it be better solved. So, what should we check if a child has nose bleeding?

1. First, rule out local diseases. You need to see an ENT doctor to rule out nasal septum deviation, nasal polyps, tumors, rhinitis, etc. This requires a visit to an ENT doctor.

2. It is necessary to rule out blood system problems such as thrombocytopenia, etc., which can be checked through blood routine or bone puncture.

3. Of course, if you have a nosebleed occasionally, it is not a big problem. The more common cause of bleeding is the rupture of the nasal mucosa, which is usually related to what people call "getting angry". The nasal mucosa is congested and dry, leading to rupture and bleeding. Remember to drink more water, eat more fruits, and use paraffin oil or glycerin nasal drops when your nasal cavity is dry. Below, the editor will introduce to you the reasons why babies have nosebleeds.

1. Fragile nasal mucosa

The nasal mucosa of young children is more fragile. In dry weather, more blood needs to flow through the nasal cavity to increase the temperature and humidity, which can easily cause congestion of the nasal mucosa and lead to bleeding.

2. Caused by trauma

Children are very active and can easily collide or be hit hard while running and jumping, causing their fragile noses to bleed. Putting foreign objects into the nasal cavity while playing can also easily cause nosebleeds.

3. Pick your nose with your hands

Young children with allergic rhinitis or colds will have itchy noses due to runny nose and nasal congestion, which may cause sneezing or picking their nostrils with their fingers, causing injury and bleeding to the fragile nasal mucosa.

4. Abnormal lifestyle

Many children are prone to nosebleeds due to irregular schedules, less sleep, and weak bodies. Children who suffer nosebleeds due to irregular work and rest schedules usually also have a lot of eye and nasal mucus and bad breath.

5. Caused by allergies

Nasal allergies are particularly obvious in winter, and nosebleeds are easily caused by the fragility of the nasal mucosa and the dry cold air in winter. Most babies who are prone to nosebleeds have symptoms of allergic rhinitis, because the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis often has erosion symptoms, and they often rub their noses due to itching, causing injury to the nasal mucosa and bleeding.

6. Caused by other diseases

Clinically, certain systemic diseases such as abnormal coagulation factors or tumors in the nasal cavity may also manifest themselves as "nosebleeds" in the early stages. If your baby often has nosebleeds for no reason, it may be a sign of certain diseases. You should take him to an ENT doctor to find out the real cause. Some medicines contain anticoagulant properties, which may cause nosebleeds during use. Babies with weak constitutions or those suffering from blood diseases such as leukemia and hemophilia are prone to nosebleeds.
