What causes nosebleeds in children with fever?

Children are young and have very limited immunity. They are easily harmed by various diseases, which makes parents very worried. One of the most common cases is children having a fever and nosebleed. Not knowing the cause is definitely very worrying. So, what is the reason for nosebleeds in children with fever? Let’s take a closer look at it below.

Fever is one of the symptoms of disease, and there are many causes of fever. It can be viral infection, bacterial infection, mycoplasma infection, etc. A routine blood test can determine what type of infection the child has. A high fever generally indicates that the child has inflammation due to infection. Frequent high fever generally means that the child has a low immune function. However, a blood test is needed to make a definitive diagnosis.

There are many reasons for nosebleeds. 1. Allergic rhinitis. The nose will be itchy due to allergies. When children rub the nose with their hands, the blood vessels in the nasal cavity will rupture and bleeding will occur.

2. Nosebleeds are related to children’s eating habits. Many children who suffer from nosebleeds are picky eaters and do not like to eat vegetables, or they consider only two vegetables as enough. Over time, their blood vessels become more fragile, and symptoms of nosebleeds will also appear when the climate is dry or they do not drink enough water.

3. Children’s bad habits. I like to pick my nose and rub my nose. Blood vessels are very fragile, and rubbing or picking the nose can cause rupture of the nasal mucosa and small blood vessels.

4. Not developing the good habit of drinking boiled water. If children sweat a lot, are very active, and do not replenish water in time, their nasal mucosa will become dry. They may also suffer from nosebleeds if they sneeze, cough, or are even slightly touched.

5. Climate relationship. The weather is dry and the temperature is high. The small blood vessels in the nasal cavity will dilate, and nosebleeds may occur without your noticing.

The above is an introduction to the causes of nosebleeds in children with fever. I hope it will be helpful to parents. There are many factors that cause children to have fever and nosebleeds. If a child is particularly prone to these symptoms, parents must pay enough attention and take them to a regular hospital for treatment in time to avoid more serious consequences for the child.
