Question
The patient is 5 weeks old and frequently has nosebleeds, sometimes severe and sometimes mild. What is the cause of this and what treatment methods should be used?
Answer
Hello, there are many reasons for nosebleeds, including nasal trauma, dry crusts on the mucous membrane, damage from acidic or alkaline substances, overexposure to the sun, excessive alcohol consumption, and more. Frequent nosebleeds can be complications of the cardiovascular system, internal organs, various infections, blood diseases, and other conditions. As you know, blood vessels constrict during cold temperatures. Therefore, you can apply cotton balls, towels, or handkerchiefs soaked in cold water to the bridge of the nose. Within an hour, you can place an ice pack on the bridge of the nose for 1-2 minutes at a time, with intervals of 2-3 minutes. If nosebleeds occur frequently, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination to confirm the cause and receive appropriate treatment.
