What to do if your child has a dry nose

The weather in autumn is relatively dry, and the mucous membrane in the nasal cavity of children is rich in blood vessels and extremely fragile. This can easily cause rupture of blood vessels in the nose, leading to nosebleeds. Parents will feel distressed when seeing this. So, what should we do if our children have dry nose? How to protect and relieve children's nasal discomfort. You can learn from the following and gain more experience.

Use a cotton swab dipped in saline solution to moisten the nasal cavity, or use a nasal cleaner. Avoid using oily lubricants to prevent lipoid pneumonia caused by inhalation. To maintain the humidity of the indoor air, you can hang two pieces of freshly washed clothes, wet towels, etc. in the bedroom, or put a basin of water, it is best to use a humidifier.

When children sleep, the quilt should be covered below the chin to allow them to breathe more fresh air and keep their noses unobstructed.

Let children develop the good habit of not picking their noses. What should I do if my child has a nose bleed?

1. Let the baby sit or lie down immediately, and then wipe away the flowing nosebleed with a handkerchief or napkin.

2. The simplest method to stop bleeding is "finger pressure", which is to press the sides of the baby's nose and the soft tissue on it with the thumb and index finger. Generally, after a few minutes, gently release your fingers and the nosebleed can usually be stopped. If you simply stuff a dry cotton ball or paper ball into the snoring cavity, it cannot effectively press the bleeding point. It seems that the bleeding has stopped, but in fact it has been swallowed into the baby's stomach.

3. For babies who are prone to nosebleeds, if the nasal mucosa is relatively dry or the climate is relatively dry, you can apply some ointment in the nasal cavity to moisturize and protect the nasal mucosa, which can also reduce the chance of nosebleeds.

4. Applying a cold towel to the nose and forehead can cause blood vessels to constrict and also have a hemostatic effect.

5. If the bleeding still does not stop, you should be sent to the hospital immediately. Do not tilt your head back while bleeding, trying to prevent the blood from flowing out of the nostrils. As a result, the blood will flow into the stomach through the pharynx and then be vomited out. Doing so not only does not help stop the bleeding, but also makes it difficult to determine whether the bleeding is still continuing.

Children's bodies are extremely fragile. Parents must protect their children well and help them develop good living habits, which will also be beneficial to their growth. In daily life, you can correct their behavior more often. For example, picking the nose can easily cause nosebleeds. If you see it, you should correct and educate them in time.
