How to treat frequent nosebleeds in babies?
Answer
Common factors or causes of frequent nosebleeds in babies with dizziness or weakness: Nosebleeds are a common symptom of various clinical diseases. They can be caused simply by nasal lesions, accounting for about half of cases, or they can also be regional manifestations of systemic diseases, also accounting for about half of cases. In children, nosebleeds often occur in the anterior lower part of the nasal septum, an area known as the “Little’s area.” Overall factors or causes 1. Acute infection: If a child has a cold, tonsillitis, pneumonia, or infectious diseases like scarlet fever or mumps, they may experience high fever. At this time, the blood vessels of the nasal mucosa may become severely engorged and swollen, leading to capillary rupture and bleeding. This type of nosebleed is always accompanied by high fever. 2. Blood disorders: When suffering from blood diseases such as thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, hemophilia, leukemia, nosebleeds often appear as the earliest symptom. At this time, parents should pay special attention. Regional factors or causes 1. Trauma: Minor trauma such as vigorous nose picking or blowing can damage the “Little’s area” of the nasal septum and lead to nosebleeds. 2. Inflammation: Regional inflammation in the nasal cavity, such as acute and chronic rhinitis or sinusitis, can cause blood vessels in the nasal mucosa to become inflamed.
