Children with colds - Because colds can reduce the resistance of the nasal mucosa, and the symptoms of colds (nasal congestion, runny nose, nasal pus, etc.) can cause children to do things that directly harm the nasal mucosa (such as blowing their nose hard, picking their nose, etc.), making them prone to nosebleeds.

There are children who have the habit of picking their noses with their fingers. Frequent picking of the nose causes the entrance of the nose and the nasal vestibule to be repeatedly injured and scabbed. When the nose is contaminated with mucus, the children cannot help but pick their noses again. This vicious cycle will cause ulcers at the entrance of the nose and the vestibule over time, and they will bleed easily. Children with blood diseases - although these children's noses are not injured, they often have nosebleeds. The flow rate is usually slow, but the frequency is very frequent. This type of nosebleed is often caused by blood diseases. If this happens, you must go to the hospital immediately for a blood test to be on the safe side.
