Question
My son is four and a half years old. He has been bleeding from his nose for the past two days. I’m worried about whether there might be any previous treatment situations and outcomes: I haven’t cared much about how to help: I want to know what might happen. I’m a bit worried because my son has never had this before.
Answer
When one’s Qi and blood rise, especially when the lung Qi is hot or the air is dry, nosebleeds can occur. When the lung Qi is overly hot, there may also be bloodshot eyes or skin breakage. Children should pay attention to their diet, choosing foods that clear the lungs and cool the blood, especially during summer. Medications that can clear internal and external toxins, cool the blood heat, and clear the dry fire in the lungs are preferable. Wishing for a quick recovery.
