Rhinitis bleeding in children has many dangers, parents must be vigilant!

In spring, many children with rhinitis and nose bleeding come to the hospital for treatment... Why is the nose prone to bleeding in spring? In fact, dryness in spring is one of the causes of nose bleeding, but children's nose bleeding is more often caused by trauma or bad habits such as picking the nose. Children are more active and the nose is an organ exposed to the surface of the body. Once trauma occurs, such as blows and falls, the chance of nose injury is relatively high. Under the impact of severe trauma, the blood vessels under the mucosa will rupture and bleed.

Some children, out of curiosity, like to use their fingers to pick their noses blindly. Be careful! This is a bad habit that is not only unhygienic, but also easy to cause local mucosal bleeding in the nasal cavity. Generally, the nose is picked at the front and lower part of the nasal septum, and there are many blood vessels in this area. Many tiny blood vessels are interwoven into a network, like a spider web. The blood vessels are superficial and very thin, and are located at the nasal opening. Just digging with your hands can break the blood vessels.

There are many other causes of rhinitis bleeding in children, such as children's picky eating leading to vitamin deficiency, nasal mucosal erosion, and deviated nasal septum.

Qingbitang Health Reminder: Whether children or adults, once nose bleeding occurs, you should pay attention and do relevant examinations in time to rule out nose diseases and other systemic diseases. For nose bleeding, not only heavy bleeding needs attention, but also small and repeated bleeding should be more vigilant, and the cause of bleeding must be carefully found.

How should you stop bleeding from the nose? Are various methods of stopping bleeding, such as tilting your head back, stuffing toilet paper into your nose, or raising your right arm when the left nostril is bleeding, correct?

NO!NO!NO!

Qingbi Hall teaches you the correct bleeding posture

1. Apply a cold towel to your forehead

Apply pressure to stop bleeding and cold compress to cause blood vessels to contract, thereby reducing bleeding. If the bleeding does not stop, you need to see a doctor immediately, and the doctor will stop the bleeding by electrocoagulation or other methods.

2. Compression to stop bleeding

Use the hand on the same side as the bleeding nostril, extend the thumb, and press the back of the nose of the bleeding nostril with a little force. At the same time, tilt the head forward about 30 degrees, open your mouth and breathe naturally. Continue pressing for 15 minutes.

Qingbi Tang: How to prevent nosebleeds in children due to rhinitis?

1. Pay attention to diet: When the air is dry, you should eat less fried and greasy food and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. And pay attention to replenishing water.

2. Control strenuous activities and avoid nasal trauma: In addition to local inflammation of the nasal cavity, strenuous activities can also dilate the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa or cause nasal itching. Picking the nose in children can also easily cause nose bleeding. In addition to avoiding strenuous exercise, children should also develop good living habits and not pick their noses at will.

3. Moisturize the nasal cavity: When the child's nasal cavity is dry, you can use paraffin oil or glycerin to drip into the nose, or wipe the nasal cavity with a cotton ball dipped in clean water.

4. Cut nails frequently: smooth the edges of nails after cutting them short, and don’t let children develop the habit of picking their noses.

5. Prevent respiratory diseases: If a child has an infectious disease such as a cold, tonsillitis, pneumonia or mumps, it is easy to cause congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa blood vessels, and even cause capillary rupture and bleeding. Therefore, in order to prevent nosebleeds, respiratory diseases should not be ignored.
