What causes nose bleeding in children?

There are many reasons for nosebleeds in children, such as dry weather. At this time, the nasal mucosa is irritated by the dryness, and the capillaries are prone to rupture. In addition, if the diet is poor and some foods that are easy to cause inflammation are often eaten, it is also easy to cause nosebleeds. Some bad living habits are also causes of nosebleeds, such as frequent nose picking. In addition, we must be wary of nosebleeds caused by some diseases.

One is seasonal reasons

The climate is dry in summer, and children tend to suffer from nosebleeds more often. During this period, it is very common for children to have nosebleeds, so parents should pay more attention to their children's living habits and diet.

Second, dietary reasons

Nowadays, most children are picky eaters and only like to eat meat but not vegetables. Their nutritional intake is not comprehensive, which leads to increased vascular fragility.

Third, children’s bad behavior habits

If you rub your nose too hard, causing small blood vessels in the nose to rupture, this is also called trauma. Many nosebleeds are caused by external impacts on children while they are playing, which causes damage to the nasal tissue and leads to nosebleeds.

Fourth, the cause of disease

Such as blood diseases, fever, cough, etc., and at the same time, nasal diseases are one of the important causes of nosebleeds. Rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal concha hypertrophy, nasal polyps, etc. will indirectly cause capillary rupture and form frequent nosebleeds.

Most (more than 90%) pediatric nosebleeds are benign and almost always occur in the front part of the nose. If the baby raises his head, the blood will flow to the back of the nasal cavity and the mouth. Some of the blood will enter the stomach and cause discomfort, leading to vomiting, while some may enter the trachea or even the lungs, causing severe coughing. The parents' panic will make the baby more nervous.
