What should I do if my child has nosebleeds due to rhinitis? Emergency measures to keep in mind

Children with rhinitis are prone to nosebleeds, which can scare many parents, but parents must remain calm at this time. For example, the child's head posture must be correct, and parents must know some simple ways to stop bleeding quickly.

1. When children have nosebleeds, the blood usually flows forward or backward into the pharynx, so children are very scared. If the child cries at this time, the nose bleeds more, so parents must calm down and help them stop crying and stopping the bleeding quickly.

2. First, let your child sit up straight, in a comfortable posture, lean forward slightly, then use your hands to gently pinch the nostrils and hold for about 10 minutes. If conditions permit, you can also apply ice to the back of your nose, or use a wet towel to cool it, which will also help stop the bleeding faster. When a child's nosebleed flows into his mouth, give him some boiled water to drink and encourage him to spit out the blood in his mouth to prevent him from feeling nauseous and vomiting.

3. While holding your child and sitting to stop the bleeding, you can let your child watch TV or listen to music to help him/her cooperate. This will prevent your child from crying and can also relieve your mood! After the child's nosebleed stops, you should teach the child not to blow or pick his nose within 24 hours. You should also teach the child to develop the habit of not picking his nose with his hands. If he has nasal congestion, he can use saline nasal wash to clean it. Do not blow your nose too hard.

4. Children with rhinitis should pay attention to a light diet and eat less fried foods; actively prevent colds and other febrile diseases; if there is a history of nosebleeds, they can take honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, Ophiopogon japonicus, etc. to prevent it. You can also try some methods to prevent nosebleeds caused by rhinitis.

5. Moisturize the nasal cavity: When the child's nasal cavity is dry, you can use paraffin oil, glycerin nasal drops or vitamin E oil to apply to the nasal cavity, and tell the child not to pick the nose with his hands.

6. Control nasal inflammation: Using the Jiebikang nasal rinser 1-2 times a day can effectively improve rhinitis symptoms and prevent nosebleeds caused by nasal inflammation.
