Little boy's nose often bleeds

It is very common for children to not pay attention to their own hygiene and cannot control the strength of their hands well, which leads to nosebleeds when they pick their noses too hard. This is more common in little boys. In addition to this reason, there are many other reasons for nosebleeds, such as bumping into hard objects when being naughty, the nasal membrane is fragile, or the nose is allergic, etc. When a nosebleed occurs, don't panic. Fix the child's position and try to make them sit upright instead of leaning back. Then cover the nostrils with cotton wool or paper towels. Nosebleeds that are not caused by pathology will stop soon.

Reason 1: Fragile nasal mucosa

The nasal mucosa of young children is more 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.

Cause 2: 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.

Reason 3: Picking your nose

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.

Reason 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.

Reason 5: Allergy

Nasal allergies are particularly obvious in winter, and nosebleeds are easily caused by the fragility of the nasal mucosa and the dry cold air in winter. Most babies who are prone to nosebleeds have symptoms of allergic rhinitis, because the nasal mucosa of allergic rhinitis often has erosion symptoms, and they often rub their noses due to itching, causing injury to the nasal mucosa and bleeding.

Reason 6: Other diseases

Clinically, certain systemic diseases such as abnormal coagulation factors or tumors in the nasal cavity may also manifest themselves as "nosebleeds" in the early stages. 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.
