Question
My 10-year-old child often bleeds from the nose, and I don’t know what’s going on. The child has been very disobedient lately, crying and fussing all the time. We’ve gone to the hospital for checks, but nothing has helped. What should I do when a 10-year-old often bleeds from the nose?
Answer
Hello, nosebleeds can first be considered due to dry air and dry, fragile nasal mucosa that is prone to bleeding. You can go to the hospital to have some mineral oil or menthol oil applied to the nasal cavity. You can also have the doctor check and burn the blood vessels inside the nasal cavity to prevent frequent bleeding. Additionally, conditions such as nasal mucosal inflammation, blood diseases, and poisoning by chemicals like mercury, phosphorus, and arsenic should be considered. It is recommended to check these out and pay attention to eating more fruits and vegetables, drinking more water, and avoiding picking the nose with your fingers.
