How to stop a child's nose bleeding?

Children often have the habit of nosebleeds when they are very young. This is caused by the child getting angry. When the child is very young, all aspects of the body are very weak, so the phenomenon of nose bleeding is also very frequent. However, once the child has a nosebleed, the bleeding must be stopped in time. The child's nosebleed cannot be left to flow like this. This will cause the child to lose too much blood, which will make the body weaker. So how should we stop the bleeding of the child's nose?

What to do when nose bleeds?

1. When the amount of bleeding is small, let the child sit down, relax the whole body, press the outer wall of the bleeding nose with your fingers for 5-10 minutes, and breathe through the mouth at this time. Keep your child's head upright, because lowering the head can cause congestion in the head, while raising the head can allow blood to flow to the pharynx.

2. Apply a towel soaked in cold water to his forehead, nose bridge and other parts. The cold stimulation can cause the small blood vessels in the nose to contract and stop bleeding.

3. You can use clean gauze, cotton, etc. to fill the nasal cavity. If you can put some Yunnan Baiyao, the effect will be better.

4. If the amount of bleeding is heavy or the child is in shock, let him/her lie flat or with his/her head down, and send him/her to the hospital immediately for treatment. It should be noted that a small amount of nosebleed can be stopped by the simple method above, but children who have frequent nosebleeds or heavy bleeding should go to the hospital in time and undergo a full-body examination to rule out other diseases.

How to prevent nosebleeds?

Preventing nosebleeds is more important than treating them. First of all, we must actively treat the primary disease, such as high fever caused by various reasons, blood disease, rhinitis, sinusitis, etc. Secondly, we should correct children’s bad habits such as picking their noses, rubbing their noses, and stuffing foreign objects into their noses, which can easily cause mucosal damage, to avoid nasal trauma. Again, straining during bowel movements may also cause blood vessels to rupture, leading to nosebleeds, so keep your child's bowel movements smooth, drink plenty of water, and eat more foods rich in fiber and plant oils, such as black sesame seeds, bananas, honey, etc. Finally, the diet should be light, and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits rich in vitamins K, P and C, such as shepherd's purse, celery, lotus root and all dark green leafy vegetables. In addition, pay attention to maintaining appropriate temperature and humidity indoors, and do not let children stay in an overly dry or high temperature environment for too long.

If your child is prone to nosebleeds, then you should choose this method to stop the bleeding in time. When stopping the bleeding, you should also pay attention to check whether the child's body has any signs of disease, and check the cause of the child's nosebleed. Only in this way can you find the right plan to stop the bleeding correctly in time. When stopping the nosebleed, you should also remember not to let the child eat food that is easy to cause inflammation during this period.
