Question
Our two-year-old suddenly started bleeding from the nose yesterday, with no prior warning. What could be the cause?
Answer
A two-year-old’s nosebleed could be caused by factors such as dry air, the child picking their nose, dry nasal mucosa, or stomachache. It is recommended that parents encourage their child to maintain a well-balanced diet, consume plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, drink more water to increase the chances of stomachache; prevent the child from picking their nose themselves, and also prevent the child from inserting foreign objects into their nose; let the child play in a humid environment. If the baby frequently experiences nosebleeds, it is best to take them to the hospital for a detailed examination. Patients should develop regular lifestyle habits, persist with treatment, and maintain a light diet, engage in more aerobic exercise to enhance immunity, and reduce the risk of illness.
