Question
A 10-year-old child has been experiencing an increase in nasal discharge and a higher frequency of nosebleeds over the past two months. Initially diagnosed with sinusitis, the child has been treated with antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicine, as well as using gentamicin eye ointment before bedtime, but the effects have been negligible. Recently, the doctor noted improvement in sinusitis but diagnosed nasopharyngitis without prescribing medication. The gentamicin eye ointment continues to be used, and daily nasal discharge fills half of the nasal cavity. If not cleared, the child can only breathe through the mouth at night. In the past week alone, there have been three episodes of nosebleeds.
Answer
Nosebleeds in children are common occurrences, but it is still necessary to undergo a medical examination to rule out nasal diseases or blood disorders.
