Question

What are the causes of pediatric nosebleeds? Which medications can be used for treatment?

Answer

Pediatric nosebleeds can occur in two situations: one is inflammation, such as tonsillitis, which causes the nasal mucosa to become congested and prone to bleeding; the other is nasal issues, such as a deviated septum or abnormal nasal mucosa, which require a visit to the hospital’s otolaryngology department for examination and treatment. If a child has just contracted tonsillitis, it can be observed initially. If bleeding occurs frequently, it is necessary to seek medical attention promptly.
