Question
An 11-year-old child has recently been experiencing nasal bleeding upon waking up in the morning. Last year, during this same time, they were carefully examined at a hospital and diagnosed with allergic rhinitis. They often suffer from nasal congestion at night and are currently taking and spraying medication. The possible cause may be due to dry air and dry, fragile nasal mucosa that is prone to bleeding. They can go to the hospital for a prescription of mineral oil or peppermint oil to apply to the nostrils. How about checking a blood routine to rule out blood system diseases? In daily life, they should drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables, and prevent nose picking.
Answer
Nasal bleeding upon waking up in the morning in children may be caused by allergic rhinitis and dry air leading to dry nasal mucosa. It is recommended to apply mineral oil or peppermint oil to the nostrils to keep them moistened, while also checking a blood routine to rule out blood system diseases.
