Why does a child have a nosebleed when he wakes up in the morning?

Children's physical fitness is not the same as that of adults in all aspects, so when children have problems, they need more care from their parents. Some children have nosebleeds in the morning. Many parents don't understand why this happens and want to know why children have nosebleeds when they wake up in the morning.

1. Inflammation of the nasal cavity: Allergic rhinitis that is not controlled for a long time will reduce the elasticity of the nasal mucosa and blood vessels, which can easily lead to bleeding. Sinusitis and hypertrophy of the nasal polyps cause increased nasal discharge and irritation of the nasal mucosa, which is also one of the important causes of nosebleeds in children.

2. Trauma: Accidental injuries to the head and face and bad habits of picking your nose can damage blood vessels and cause bleeding.

3. Vitamin deficiency: Improper feeding of infants and young children or picky eating habits of some children can cause vitamin deficiency, which can cause changes in the elasticity of blood vessel walls and make them prone to bleeding.

4. Tumors: Nasal tumors are rare in children. Nasopharyngeal hemangioma is more common in young people, but the incidence rate in children has been increasing in recent years. Since the lesion of nasopharyngeal hemangioma is deep in the nasal cavity, it is easy to misdiagnose without professional examination.

5. If you encounter nose bleeding, you must remain calm and don't panic, otherwise your blood pressure will rise and aggravate the bleeding. If you feel blood flowing into your mouth, try to spit it out to avoid irritating your stomach. When there is a small amount of bleeding, stuff a cotton ball into the nostril and press the closed foramen for 5-10 minutes. If the bleeding does not subside, you can extend the time appropriately and apply cold compress on the nose and forehead. The effect will be better if Yunnan Baiyao is added. If bleeding is severe or recurring, you should go to the hospital immediately.

6. Excessive tension often leads to incoherent speech. Patients and their families should try to remain calm and briefly explain the onset of the disease and past medical history (whether there are other diseases) to the doctor.

7. In order to find the bleeding point, the doctor may use certain drugs to shrink the nasal mucosa and perform an endoscopic examination. If you are allergic to certain drugs, you should inform us in time.

8. If the doctor thinks that the bleeding may be caused by other reasons, blood tests and X-rays will be performed. If you have undergone similar examinations recently, you need to bring the relevant information with you when you see the doctor.

9. If it has been confirmed that nose bleeding is indeed caused by other diseases, do not give up further treatment of the cause just because the bleeding has stopped. This will lay the seeds for more serious bleeding in the future.

When children have frequent nosebleeds, parents must not be too anxious, as it is crucial to find the cause. Then take the child to a regular hospital for treatment and care in time, so as to reduce the problems caused by treatment and restore the child's health as soon as possible.
