Question
My baby is one month old, and she bled from her nose last night at 3 am. The left side of her nose is often blocked with mucus, making her breathe heavily. Last night, I didn’t pay much attention to the treatment, and now I’m wondering what’s going on.
Answer
Nasal bleeding in babies may be caused by the constant blockage of mucus and the subsequent rupture of the nasal mucosa. You can try this: have the child lie on their stomach, use a cotton swab dipped in physiological saline to clean out the secretions from the baby’s nose, and then apply some Erythromycin ointment after it dries.
