Introduction: When a child has a nosebleed, how do you help your child stop the bleeding? The method of stopping the bleeding rooted in Wen Wen's mind was to lift his head or quickly plug his nostrils with a tissue. As everyone knows, such a method is likely to harm the child.
Some time ago, the temperature in Chengdu plummeted, and I had to sleep with the air conditioner on at night, so several times in my sleep, I reached out and touched the child, and my hands were nosebleeds. I quickly sat the child up, then lifted his head and stuffed two paper balls in his nostrils.
After the nostrils were blocked, he signaled the child to open his mouth to breathe, but as soon as the child opened his mouth, he vomited out a lot of blood, which frightened Wenwen's parents and parents.
Later, at the suggestion of Grandma Wenwen, she began to pat the child's forehead and neck with cold water, but the effect was minimal. After tossing and turning for 20 minutes, the phenomenon of the child's nosebleeds still did not stop, and finally he had to go downstairs to start the car and send the child to the hospital in the middle of the night.
The doctor on duty did the relevant examination for the child for the first time, and soon found the bleeding point, which was on a branch point at the back of the nasal cavity, and after the bleeding point was found, the child's nosebleed was finally stopped.
The doctor sighed and said that now the climate is dry, and several patients with nosebleeds will be treated in one night, most of them are children, and a few are middle-aged and elderly people.
Wen Wen's father was also very afraid of nosebleeds, when he was a child, there was a nosebleed, it was really intermittent all day, and the paper towels were used for a big bag... Thinking about this, Wen Wen's father could not wait to ask the doctor for advice, how to stop the bleeding correctly, and under what circumstances did he need to come to the hospital?
The doctor was not too busy at night, so he nagged with Wen Wen Dad for a while, after listening to the doctor's method, Wen Wen Dad knew that after nosebleeds, looking up or stuffing paper balls, it was a very wrong behavior, not only could not stop the nosebleed, but also may cause damage, and serious cases will also be life-threatening.
01, children have nosebleeds, do not look up or stuff paper balls
After returning home from the hospital, Wen Wen's father sorted out the doctor's advice and decided to share the correct treatment of the child after the nosebleed.
Looking up when nosebleeds is equivalent to "drinking nosebleeds"
In the subconscious of many people, after the nosebleed should look up, wen Wen Dad's family of the elderly also think so, after seeing the child nosebleed, the old people always habitually let the child look up, a look up, the nosebleed will not flow, the old people think that the nosebleed is stopped.
But in fact, the nosebleed was not stopped, but transferred from the nostrils to the throat, the stomach, and the trachea.
According to doctors, the common part of nosebleeds is called The Lee's Zone (also known as the Lee's Zone), which is located at the front of the nasal cavity and below the nasal septum, which is rich in capillaries. When the capillaries in this area are dilated and bleeding, as soon as the head is tilted, the nosebleed will flow down the nasal cavity into the mouth and swallow into the stomach, resulting in the illusion of "nostrils without bleeding".
When nosebleeds flow into the throat, stomach, and trachea, the light one is uncomfortable, and the severe one may have difficulty breathing, or even suffocate.
Wen Wen's father once watched a short video shared by a doctor: a 3-year-old child, after a nosebleed, his parents decisively let him look up; after looking up, the nosebleed flowed down the nasal cavity into the throat eye, and formed a clot, blocking the trachea, causing breathing difficulties.
When the family sent the child to the hospital, the child's face was already blue and purple, and despite the doctor's full rescue, he was ultimately unable to return to the sky.
Therefore, the doctor hereby sends a short video to remind parents that when the child has a nosebleed, do not let him look up, it is very dangerous.
Nosebleeds stuffed with paper balls, which can easily cause infection
At that time, when sending the child to the hospital, there were still two paper balls stuffed in the nostrils, and the doctor saw the situation and quickly took down the paper balls, saying bluntly: the paper balls cannot stop the bleeding, and it is easy to cause infection.
The doctor then explained that the paper balls are not deep enough, and the pressure is usually not enough, which cannot achieve the effect of compressing and stopping the bleeding. In addition, toilet paper towels are not as clean as everyone thinks, more or less will carry a little bacteria, and repeated "plugging and taking" will also cause nasal mucosal damage and infection.
Therefore, whether adults or children have nosebleeds, they should avoid looking up or stuffing paper balls, which not only cannot stop the bleeding but also may delay the condition.
02, children have nosebleeds, the correct treatment methods should be remembered
As can be seen from the above, the site that often causes nosebleeds in children is the Rich Capillary Area, so as long as this area is quickly squeezed, the effect of rapid hemostasis can be achieved. The specific method is: lean forward slightly, pinch the nose wing with one hand, and lower the head slightly, and hold it for 10-15 minutes.
If it is a young child and cannot complete the hemostasis on their own, parents can hold the child on their laps, and let the child's head lean forward slightly, open his mouth, and spit out the blood that flows to the throat as much as possible to avoid choking the trachea.
Then the parents pinch the sides of the child's nose, compress the front part of the nasal septum, and hold it continuously for 10-15 minutes without letting go. Do not pinch for a while to release to see if it is still bleeding, so that a press and a loose, there is no hemostasis effect.
When pinching the sides of the child's nose, you can also use a cold towel to coldly apply to the forehead or the back of the neck at the same time, which can make the blood vessels contract rapidly, so as to achieve the purpose of quickly stopping the bleeding.
Write to the end:
In most cases, the child's nosebleeds are caused by dry air; when the child has nosebleeds, the body itself will "activate" the coagulation function to help stop the bleeding, so parents do not have to worry too much.
However, if the nosebleed is still not stopped after the above hemostasis measures are taken, and the time has exceeded 15 minutes, parents should take the child to a regular hospital in time to find a professional doctor for treatment.
Like some children' nasal structure is more special, sometimes it is difficult to stop the bleeding at home, so once the child has a nosebleed for more than 15 minutes, after taking the correct hemostasis measures, it is necessary to go to the hospital in time.
In addition, the doctor also told Wen Wen dad that if a child under 2 years old has nosebleeds more than 3 times a week and lasts for several weeks, he needs to go to the hospital for examination and testing to find out the cause of nosebleeds.
