Question

Why does a 2-year-old baby keep sneezing blood?

Answer

Generally speaking, a 2-year-old baby’s nosebleed is often due to damage to the mucous membrane in the outer area of the nasal vestibule (Leydig area). This region has a rich supply of blood vessels, and once damaged, it is prone to nosebleeds. Possible causes of damage include nose picking, injury, or rubbing the nose during dry weather. Additionally, it is necessary to consider the possibility of thrombocytopenia or abnormal coagulation function.
