Why does a child's nose bleed while sleeping?

Water is an essential substance for the human body. It is best to drink eight glasses of water a day. However, most children do not like to drink water, so children are more likely to get sick than adults. Sometimes we will find that children will have nosebleeds unknowingly when they are sleeping. So what is the reason for children's nose bleeding when they are sleeping? What kind of situation is this? Let me introduce you to this aspect.

The tiny blood vessels in the nasal mucosa are densely distributed, very sensitive and fragile, and can easily rupture and cause bleeding. Nosebleeds in children are usually caused by injury to the front part of the nasal septum. There are several blood vessels intersecting in this area, which are also arteries, so the amount of bleeding is very large. The reasons why children are prone to nosebleeds can be roughly divided into the following categories.

1. Due to dry weather, children's nosebleeds are common causes of rupture of the nasal mucosa. The air is dry, and the nasal mucosa becomes dry and fragile, and it is easy to bleed. It takes a certain amount of time for the nasal mucosa to repair after it is ruptured. Before it heals, it will bleed if it encounters external force or other reasons. This is the reason why most children have nosebleeds, so parents don’t need to worry too much.

2. The child has a cold, because a cold will reduce the resistance of the nasal mucosa. In addition, the symptoms of a cold (nasal congestion, runny nose, nasal pus, etc.) will cause the child to do some actions that directly damage the nasal mucosa (such as blowing the nose hard, picking the nose, etc.), making it easy to have nosebleeds. It is now the dry season of spring. As the weather warms up rapidly, the weather becomes dry and changeable with a large temperature difference between day and night. At the same time, human immunity decreases, which gives germs and viruses an opportunity to take advantage of the situation and easily cause various respiratory diseases such as influenza and colds. Therefore, if conditions permit, you can always keep some cold medicine at home.

In addition to the usual medicines, you should also pay attention to rest, wash your hands frequently, drink plenty of water, eat more fruits and vegetables, and avoid spicy food. If the symptoms persist, it is recommended to see a doctor to check for blood diseases. Because thrombocytopenia causes bleeding, coagulation factor defects can also lead to bleeding. In addition, nasal capillary dilation can cause bleeding.

The above are some answers to the question of why children have nose bleeding while sleeping. After reading this, you will have a clear understanding of children's nose bleeding. So you must pay attention when taking care of your children. Let them drink more water every day and try not to eat snacks, because snacks are most likely to cause children to get angry, and if they get angry, they are prone to getting sick and having nosebleeds. By paying attention to the above points, children can stay away from nosebleeds.
