Question
My baby suddenly started bleeding from the nose, and I don’t know what caused it. There were no signs beforehand. How should I handle a child’s nosebleed?
Answer
When a child has a nosebleed, first calm the child and prevent them from crying or fussing. Then, have the child sit up with their body slightly forward to avoid the blood from entering the mouth and causing a blockage. Parents can gently pinch the child’s nostrils together with both hands and use a sterile cotton ball to wipe away the blood, helping it to clot. Additionally, pay attention to a balanced diet and incorporate regular aerobic exercise to strengthen the body. Maintaining a positive mood also helps enhance the child’s physical quality and speed up recovery.
