Question

Our baby suddenly had a nosebleed yesterday, and we don’t know what happened or if there were any warning signs. What could be the cause of a child suddenly having a nosebleed?

Answer

Nosebleeds may result from external force causing skin abrasions or from dry nasal mucosa and broken capillaries. When nosebleeds occur again, do not panic, strictly prohibit eye-raise actions, as they can easily cause the blood to flow into the respiratory tract, leading to difficulty breathing. It is recommended to apply cold compresses to the nose to slow blood flow and apply medication. If bleeding persists, seek immediate medical attention. In daily life, maintain regular routines, do well in cold protection and warmth preservation, eat more light, soft foods, often ventilate, and drink more hot water to ensure that the condition does not recur.
