Answer
What causes children’s nosebleeds at night during the winter? Is this situation related to congenital diseases? Do they require medical treatment? In the local winter, indoor temperatures are higher, and the air is dry. Children often have nosebleeds in the anterior part of the nasal septum, where the capillary area is more superficial. Additionally, with high indoor temperatures and dry air, when children blow their noses, cough, or sneeze, it can lead to nosebleeds. It is recommended to lower the indoor temperature and increase humidity at night to create a comfortable environment for the child. At the same time, it is also necessary to rule out that the child has acute or chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, or other regional diseases.
