Question
My child was born a few days ago, and recently, I don’t know why they keep scratching their ears. Why do children often have nosebleeds?
Answer
There are many reasons for nosebleeds, including both local and systemic causes. Local causes include nasal trauma, nasopharyngitis, nasal foreign bodies, and nasal angiomas; systemic causes include upper respiratory inflammation, aplastic anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, liver cirrhosis, vitamin C deficiency, hemophilia, leukemia, and so on. It is advisable to take your child to the hospital for a check-up.
