Causes of nosebleeds in children

For parents, no matter what symptoms their children have, they are worried, because we all know that no matter what diseases children have, if we don’t understand the causes, scientifically treat and solve them, the impact and harm they will suffer will be greater. Therefore, parents need to understand which factors are likely to cause nosebleeds in children.

Children's nosebleeds are usually caused by injuries to the front part of the nasal septum. This area has several blood vessels that intersect and are arteries, so the amount of bleeding is large. Children who are prone to nosebleeds can be roughly divided into the following categories:

1. Children with colds - because colds can reduce the resistance of the nasal mucosa, and the symptoms of colds (nasal congestion, runny nose, nasal pus, etc.) can cause children to do some actions that directly hurt the nasal mucosa (such as blowing their noses hard, picking their noses, etc.), which can easily lead to nosebleeds.

Second, children with nasal allergies - due to itchy, runny nose, nasal congestion, they often pick their noses, which often causes the nasal mucosa to be injured and bleed.

3. Children who have the habit of picking their noses with their fingers - Frequent picking of the nose causes repeated injuries to the nose and the nasal vestibule, which then forms scabs. When the nose is stained with mucus, the children will pick their noses uncontrollably, and this vicious cycle will continue. Over time, the nose and the vestibule will ulcerate and bleed easily.

4. Children with blood diseases - Although these children have no nose injuries, they often have nosebleeds. The flow rate is usually slow, but the frequency is very frequent. This type of nosebleed is often caused by blood diseases. If you encounter this situation, you must go to the hospital for a blood test immediately to prevent any accidents.

The above is an introduction to some of the reasons that may cause nosebleeds in children. I hope that after these introductions, everyone can pay attention to them. For children, no matter what kind of disease condition they have, the impact and harm on them are relatively large, so parents need to pay attention to it so that they can help them treat it correctly.
