Why does my child's nose always bleed?

Children's health is a matter of great concern to many parents, especially when the seasons change. Some children always have nosebleeds, which makes many parents very troubled. Such a situation is related to many factors, and it may also be due to the child's own physical constitution. Of course, we cannot rule out the possibility that disease may be involved, so we must pay attention to it. So what’s the matter with children’s noses always bleeding?

1. The nasal mucosa of young children is fragile

In dry weather, more blood needs to flow through the nasal cavity to increase the temperature and humidity, which can easily cause congestion of the nasal mucosa and lead to bleeding.

2. Caused by trauma

Children are very active and can easily collide or be hit hard while running and jumping, causing their fragile noses to bleed. Putting foreign objects into the nasal cavity while playing can also easily cause nosebleeds.

3. Pick your nose with your hands

Young children with allergic rhinitis or colds will have itchy noses due to runny nose and nasal congestion, which may cause sneezing or picking their nostrils with their fingers, causing injury and bleeding to the fragile nasal mucosa.

4. Abnormal lifestyle

Many children are prone to nosebleeds due to irregular schedules, less sleep, and weak bodies. Children who suffer nosebleeds due to irregular work and rest schedules usually also have a lot of eye and nasal mucus and bad breath.

5. Improper diet

Bad eating habits such as being picky about food, eating a partial diet, and not eating vegetables can also cause nosebleeds due to vitamin deficiency.

6. Caused by other diseases

If your baby often has nosebleeds for no reason, it may be a sign of certain diseases. You should take him to an ENT doctor to find out the real cause. Some medicines contain anticoagulant properties, which may cause nosebleeds during use. In addition, certain problems in the blood can also cause nosebleeds. For example, mild thrombocytopenia and severe leukemia both have symptoms of nosebleeds.
