Question
What could be the cause of a 15-month-old child’s sneezing and nosebleed?
Answer
A 15-month-old child’s sneezing and nosebleed could be due to fragile capillaries or excessive body heat. If it’s occasional, observation is sufficient. However, if it occurs frequently, it’s necessary to take the child for a blood test to rule out blood disorders. Western medicine treats acute rhinitis by treating it as a common cold, using antiviral medications, fever reducers, cough suppressants, and antibiotics to prevent infection or complications; in addition, decongestants and anti-inflammatory nasal drops are used to reduce nasal congestion and eliminate nasal inflammation.
