Question
Why do children sneeze blood at night, and why does it happen again the following evening? The patient is a 14-year-old boy who has been in good health before.
Answer
Nosebleeds in children may be related to damaged nasal mucosa, possibly caused by indigestion. It is recommended to conduct a platelet count, and if the results are normal, symptomatic treatment can be administered. During treatment, it is important to drink plenty of water and prevent the child from picking their nose to avoid further skin damage.
