What happens when a child has a nosebleed?

Because children lack experience, they are completely at a loss when they encounter symptoms of nosebleeds and will develop serious fear. At this time, the performance of parents is very important. First of all, keep the child's head in the correct posture. At this time, do not let the child tilt his head back. It is best to choose a posture that leans slightly forward. Then, based on the child's actual situation, the real cause of the nosebleed can usually be found. For example, the following factors are very common.

What happens when a child has a nosebleed?

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.
