Question
Why is my two-year-old having diarrhea and nosebleed? He had hard stools in the morning, followed by a second formed stool. Last night, he had two loose stools, and this morning, one loose stool. What could be the reason? Can I use a baby navel plaster?
Answer
The baby’s diarrhea has not lasted long, and it is considered related to diet and catching a cold, so using a baby navel plaster is appropriate. There are many reasons for a child to have a nosebleed, with common causes including nasopharyngitis, dry air, nose picking, nasal tumors, and blood diseases. The first three are more common. Temporary relief can be achieved with a moisturizing burn ointment, and if there is recurrent bleeding, medical consultation is needed for an accurate diagnosis.
