I believe that many people have had the experience of nosebleeds, especially for children, it is inevitable that nosebleeds will occur due to some external reasons or physical reasons.
For many novice parents, children often behave helplessly after having nosebleeds and do not know how to deal with this situation.
In this case, most parents will choose to use a tissue directly into a paper ball and stuff it into the child's nostrils to prevent the nosebleed from continuing to flow out, or let the child hold up his head to prevent the nosebleed from flowing out.
Before, I saw a video on the Internet, so that many parents have palpitations, the child in the video at night when sleeping appeared nosebleeds, the child's mother found out, immediately with toilet paper kneaded into a small ball, stuffed into the child's nose.
But I did not expect that this method did not stop the child from bleeding, but instead made the blood in the nasal cavity flow into the child's mouth, causing the child to cough.
Then the parent had the opportunity to move and think again, patting the child's neck with cold water, but it still had little effect, and the child's nosebleeds never stopped.
Finally, the parent sent the child to the pediatric hospital near his home in time, and finally stopped the nosebleed under the professional treatment of the pediatrician.
Children have nosebleeds, parents must not use these wrong methods to stop the bleeding, otherwise it will pit the baby
Wrong method one: Do not use a tissue to block your child's nostrils
Now many adults in the nosebleed situation, often the first time will use toilet paper kneading into a ball, and then to block their nostrils, such a method seems to be able to stop the nosebleed, in fact, just transfer the nosebleed to other parts of the body.
Especially for children, the mucous membrane in the child's nasal cavity is relatively fragile, using toilet paper to knead into a ball to block the child's nose, not only may damage the mucous membrane in the child's nasal cavity, resulting in further damage to the skin in the nasal cavity, but also may cause the child to have a bacterial infection.
If you accidentally let the child's nosebleeds flow to the mouth or lungs, it may even cause the child to have dangerous conditions such as poor breathing and suffocation.
Therefore, after finding that your child has a nosebleed, parents should not use paper balls to block their children's nostrils.
Wrong method two: Pat the back of your neck and forehead with cold water
After a nosebleed, patting the back of the neck and forehead with cold water is a very common method. But in fact, such a method can only be used when the amount of nasal blood in children is not large.
If there is a relatively large amount of nosebleeds, this method will not alleviate the child's nosebleeds, and may even lead to further aggravation of the child's symptoms.
Therefore, when parents use this method, they must observe the situation of children's nosebleeds, if the amount of bleeding is large, do not use cold water to pat the forehead and the back of the neck.
Wrong method three: look up to stop the bleeding
Looking up to stop the bleeding is a very common way to get nosebleeds, and I remember when I was a kid, my parents would let me look up to relieve the nosebleeds from flowing further.
But whenever I raise my head, I feel that the nosebleed is flowing down my nasal cavity, and even sometimes it will flow into my mouth, and I can see a lot of blood when I spit it out, which makes me feel very frightened.
In fact, looking up to stop the nosebleed is a very dangerous behavior, once we raise our head, the blood will flow down our nasal cavity, into our mouth, stomach, and may even flow into our trachea.
Blood has a special property, that is, blood will coagulate, once the blood in the child's trachea coagulation, it is likely to block the child's trachea, resulting in difficulty breathing in the child.
What should I do if my child has a nosebleed? The right way is here, parents quickly collect spare
First, pinch the wings of your child's nose.
A pediatrician from a tertiary hospital mentioned the method of pinching the child's nose to stop the bleeding when talking about how to deal with the problem of children's nosebleeds.
He said that this method can be very safe and can quickly solve the problem of nosebleeds caused by children due to dry autumn and winter.
The nose wing is a very rich part of the child's capillaries, and the nosebleed is often because the capillaries in this place are ruptured, so pinching the child's nose wing with your hand can play a role in squeezing the child's capillaries and making the child stop the bleeding.
The specific operation process of this method is to let the child's body lean forward slightly, and then, let the child gently lower his head, at this time the parent can let the child pinch his nose wing.
If the child's strength is not enough, parents can help the child pinch the nose wing, until about 10 minutes, the child's nosebleed can be stopped.
Secondly, if you find that the situation is not right, you must immediately take your child to the hospital for treatment
In life, most of the nosebleeds in children are caused by the surrounding environment being too dry and foreign objects scratching the nasal cavity.
If the symptoms of bleeding are not serious, the method of pinching the nose wing can play a good hemostasis effect, after all, our human body has a certain coagulation function.
However, this method is not suitable for all situations, if the child has nosebleeds for more than 10 minutes, parents should take their children to a professional pediatric hospital for examination as soon as possible, so that the doctor can carry out corresponding hemostasis measures to avoid the impact of excessive blood loss on the child's body.
In addition, parents should also pay attention to observe in life whether the child has frequent nosebleeds, and if the child has frequent nosebleeds, it is likely that a blood vessel near the nasal cavity has ruptured, and if the corresponding treatment is not actively taken, it is likely to endanger the child's health.
Write at the end
All parts of the child's body are very fragile, as a parent should do is to do their best to take care of the child, while helping the child to do a good job of protective measures, in order to let the child grow up healthily.
