Question
Why do children often suffer from nosebleeds? What kind of assistance can be provided?
Answer
The usual cause of nosebleeds in children is that the mucosal capillaries in the nose are relatively fragile and can easily bleed when inflamed or subjected to external force. This condition is typically incurable before puberty, but most often, it resolves naturally as children enter adolescence. In daily life, it is important to avoid blows to the nose. If a child has symptoms such as runny nose, coughing, or fever, treatment should be sought promptly. If nosebleeds occur frequently and are difficult to stop, further examination is needed to determine if there may be systemic bleeding disorders.
