Nosebleeds are more common in children, often occurring when they wash their ears, lower their heads, or lightly touch their noses. Some children also unknowingly bleed from their nostrils while they sleep. According to statistics, about 60% of people have a history of nosebleed in their lifetime.

When your child has a nosebleed, you can treat it at home. First of all, parents should stay calm and take some simple and easy methods to stop nosebleeds according to local conditions, such as pushing the nostril on the bleeding side toward the nasal septum and applying pressure for a few minutes, or inserting a sterilized dry cotton ball into the bleeding nasal cavity and then applying pressure; in addition, a wet towel or ice pack can be applied to the child's forehead; you can also use your thumb and index finger to pinch both sides of the base of the child's middle finger nail, pinching the left side for right nose bleeding and the right side for left nose bleeding. After the above treatment, most children's nose bleeding can be stopped. If it is ineffective, you should immediately go to the ENT department of a nearby hospital for treatment.

In addition, there are some children who have long-term, recurrent nosebleeds that are difficult to heal. The amount of bleeding each time is not much, and no blood disease is found when they go to the hospital for examination. However, as time goes by, they often develop secondary anemia, which will affect their normal growth and development. The cause of this recurrent nosebleed is not quite clear. It is medically called idiopathic nosebleed, commonly known as "sandy nose". If there is such a child at home, you can use Chinese medicine and diet therapy:

1. Take 2 snow pears, 15 grams of lotus root nodes, and 100 grams of lean pork, add water and cook until done. Take 1 dose per day for 4-5 days.

2. Take 10 grams of Imperata root and 10 grams of broad bean flower, decoct them into a soup and drink it as tea, one dose per day, 15 days as a course of treatment.
