The winter climate is dry and children are prone to nosebleeds.
In the middle of the night, my next-door neighbor's house suddenly made a noise, frightening people to get up to see what was going on. As soon as he opened the door, he saw his 6-year-old child with his head on his back, his nose bleeding and a ball of toilet paper. The child's face was stained with blood, and there were traces of vomiting blood on the lips, and there were many blood spots on the ground.
The neighbor's mother pressed the elevator in a panic while hurriedly dragging the child forward. I probably saw what was happening and was trying to signal to her to find a way to stop the bleeding for the child. As a result, the two of them hurried to the elevator.
After returning home, recalling the scene for a few seconds, I quickly called the neighbor's mother and asked her to immediately change her method and pinch the child's nose to stop the bleeding, instead of "looking up to stop the bleeding".
The neighbor's mother cried on the phone and said to me: "The child woke up from sleep and suddenly began to have nosebleeds, but he stuffed paper balls into the child's nose, and also let the child look up, but the child's nosebleed could not be stopped." ”
After some comfort to me, the neighbor's mother regained her senses, quickly pinched the child's nose, and helped the child change the method of hemostasis. Later, they also quickly rushed to the nearby community hospital and helped the child find the bleeding point in the nose and properly treat it. Fortunately, there was no danger, and the child's nosebleed did not flow out again.
Afterwards, when she saw the neighbor Bao Ma again, she was still sighing: "Looking up to stop the nosebleed" Method was very wrong, causing the child to vomit a mouthful of blood, which frightened her not lightly. And the method I taught her, seemingly simple, worked.
Why is it so wrong to "look up to stop the nosebleed" when the child has a nosebleed?
Some mothers see that their children have nosebleeds, they are very anxious, and they will instinctively tell their children to "quickly look up, don't look down", and the mother may also take toilet paper in her hand and directly stuff it into the child's nasal cavity to help the child stop the bleeding. However, this method has a very poor effect on hemostasis, the child has a damage in the nasal cavity, and the toilet paper is easy to have bacteria no matter how clean it is, which is a potential danger for the child.
Moreover, this method seems to have worked on the surface, but in fact, the child's nosebleed was not stopped, but transferred from the nasal position to the mouth, stomach and so on. Therefore, some children will spit blood in their mouths, and even suck blood into the lungs, resulting in breathing difficulties and the risk of suffocation.
It can be seen that when the child has a nosebleed, let the child look up to stop the nosebleed, which is really a big mistake. But there are two other methods that can be used to some extent, that is, "patting the forehead with cold water" and "pinching the nose". These two small methods can be used to help the baby stop the nosebleed in the case of the child's nasal blood is not too large.
Have you ever given these two methods of stopping nosebleeds for your child?
1. Pinch the nose wing to stop the nosebleed
Most of the causes of nosebleeds in children are dry and cold in winter, and the indoor humidity is not up to standard, resulting in children with dry rhinitis and nosebleeds. Other children were on fire, causing nosebleeds. But no matter what the reason, when the child has a nosebleed, he can first use the method of pinching the nose wing to stop the bleeding.
Bao Mom found that the child had a nosebleed, quickly let the child's head go down slightly, pinch the child's nose wing part, do not be afraid of the initial nosebleed out of the seemingly more severe, as long as you insist on it for a while, you can basically stop the bleeding. After about ten minutes, the child's nasal cavity will no longer bleed. meantime
However, if the mother stops the bleeding for a long time, it has exceeded ten minutes, and it is found that the child's nasal cavity still has a tendency to bleed, and the blood flow is a little much. Then you must quickly send your child to the hospital, take better measures, and do not delay treatment at home
2 Cold water gently pat the forehead to help the child stop the nosebleed
The way to "look up to stop the nosebleed" has been determined to be the wrong way. So what should I do if my child has a nosebleed? This method of "patting the forehead with cool water" is more practical in life, and is very suitable for some children who accidentally have nosebleeds at home.
When the child has a nosebleed, the mother can help the child quickly find some cool water and tap the child's brain door a few times. The blood vessels of the child's brain gate are connected to the nasal mucosal blood vessels, when the child has a nosebleed and is slapped on the forehead by cool water, the blood vessels in the child's forehead area will be contracted when they are coldly stimulated, and even the nasal mucosa blood vessels will also contract, which can play a role in stopping the bleeding.
If your child occasionally has nosebleeds, it can be observed whether your child is still bleeding after hemostasis. Generally, after the child has a nosebleed, a little treatment can stop the bleeding from the self-initiation coagulation function. However, once the child has frequent nosebleeds, it is necessary to actively take the child to the hospital otolaryngology department for examination. If necessary, follow your doctor's advice.
