Why does my child cough and have a nosebleed?

1. Children with colds cough and bleed from the nose because the cold reduces the resistance of the nasal mucosa. Children make some actions that directly hurt the nasal mucosa (such as blowing their nose hard, picking their nose, etc.), which makes them prone to nosebleeds. The organs that cause coughing include the respiratory tract, lungs, respiratory muscles, and nervous system. The cough center is located in the medulla oblongata. When the cough center is stimulated, coughing occurs. Respiratory tract inflammation, such as inflammation caused by viruses, bacteria and certain parasites invading the respiratory tract, can irritate the mucous membrane and cause coughing. Secondly, a variety of physical and chemical factors can irritate the respiratory mucosa, or compress the bronchi, stimulating the cough center through the nerves.
