Here I will introduce to you what to do if a 2-year-old baby has nose bleeding. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.

1. Common causes of nose bleeding in 2-year-old babies:

1. With the arrival of spring, the Yang Qi in children's bodies also rises sharply. The blood surges with the Qi, rushing up to the nasopharynx and causing bleeding easily.

2. When winter turns to spring, children take off their thick clothes and hats and suddenly get the opportunity to play outdoors. They become very excited, which can easily cause nasal trauma and bleeding.

3. As spring approaches and the temperature gets warmer, the nasal blood vessels that have been constricted for too long in winter begin to expand, causing dryness, itching and other discomforts in the nose, which will bleed if scratched slightly.

4. Spring is the epidemic season for febrile diseases such as influenza and measles. Fever may lead to secondary nasal and sinus infections, causing nosebleeds.

2. What should we do after nose bleeding occurs?

1. First of all, parents should remain calm and comfort their children. They should not panic in front of their children, which will scare them, cause them to cry and become restless, and aggravate the bleeding.

2. Take some simple and easy methods to stop nosebleeds as soon as possible.

① Acupressure method: first let the child sit down and lean forward slightly. Be sure to let your child breathe through his mouth and pinch the nostrils to close both nostrils for 10 minutes. The pinching and pressure should be continued for a full 10 minutes. It can usually stop mild nose bleeding.

② Packing method: use a sterile cotton ball with Yunnan Baiyao on it and stuff it into the nostrils, or use a hemostatic sponge to pack it. At this time, you need to pay attention to the pharynx. If there is blood flowing down from the pharynx, it means that the nose bleeding has not stopped.

③ Finger pricking method: use a rope to tightly tie the middle section of the middle finger. If the left nose is bleeding, prick the right hand; if the right nose is bleeding, prick the left hand; if both noses are bleeding, prick both hands at the same time.

④Daoyin method: soak both feet in warm water, or mash garlic and apply it to the soles of feet. If the right nose is bleeding, apply it to the left sole, and if the left nose is bleeding, apply it to the right sole.

3. Pay attention to prevention on a daily basis. Children with a history of nosebleeds, in addition to active physical exercise on a daily basis, should drink more water when the climate is dry, and apply a little oil in the nasal cavity to keep the nasal mucosa moist. Do not pick your nose or blow your nose hard.
