Question
My baby is one and a half years old. Last night, while he was taking a nap, he had a nosebleed. He also had one this morning, and the blood is pale, not red. We tested the blood, and the doctor said it’s normal. What could be causing the nosebleed? I’m really worried. The baby is otherwise normal, just this nosebleed issue, and the blood is pale. What on earth could be happening?
Answer
Nosebleeds are often due to minor skin abrasions in the nasal area, which can be related to inflammation, injury, or tumors. Children may frequently scratch their noses due to slight discomfort caused by inflammation, so it’s often difficult to find the exact cause. It’s mainly about educating children to develop good living habits. Avoid eating hot and spicy foods that can harm the stomach. Eating lotus root can have certain therapeutic and preventive effects on nosebleeds in children.
