Question
Symptoms of a child’s nosebleed and the assistance sought.
Answer
Nosebleeds in children may be related to “heat,” which can lead to damage and rupture of the nasal mucosal blood vessels. Preventive measures include ensuring the child drinks plenty of water, eats more vegetables and fruits, and supplements with vitamin C. When bleeding occurs, keep the head upright or slightly forward, and simultaneously press on the nostril on the bleeding side for 5-10 minutes. It is recommended to seek medical attention for examination, and timely use of anti-inflammatory medication if sinusitis is diagnosed. Additionally, it may be necessary to check coagulation function and blood routine.
