Question
I recently noticed that my 2-year-old child frequently scratches their ears and has been experiencing nosebleeds. I would like to inquire about the possible causes of this?
Answer
According to your description, the child has been scratching their ears since birth and has developed nosebleeds. In this situation, we first need to confirm whether the child is indeed experiencing nosebleeds and conduct a routine blood test to ensure the results are normal. If these tests come back without any abnormalities, we can consider whether these symptoms are due to excessively dry indoor air. To alleviate these symptoms, you can try increasing the humidity indoors and pay attention to the child’s diet to ensure they are getting enough vitamin C. Additionally, it is recommended that the child’s diet be kept light, and observe whether these methods improve the child’s condition.
