[What causes nosebleeds in children?]
On the weekend, the father took the child to the playground to play, and the child suddenly had a nosebleed on the way, and the father was frightened, and subconsciously, directly let the child raise his head, hoping to stop the bleeding in this way.
However, it seems that the father's method did not work, and after the child raised his head, instead of stopping the bleeding, he also felt that his breathing was a little unsmooth.
Seeing this, the father hurriedly took the child to the hospital, and the doctor learned of the father's behavior, criticized it, and said: "It is a wrong behavior to raise your head to stop the bleeding." ”
So, what to do when your child has a nosebleed?
First of all, don't panic, let alone startle your child, because nervousness may lead to increased bleeding and choking your child.
Second, have your child tilt his head slightly forward to keep his airway open.
Finally, gently press the wings of the nose on both sides with your thumb and forefinger for about 5-10 minutes to stop bleeding.
If conditions permit, you can also use a cold towel to apply a cold towel to the head or neck, which can also achieve the purpose of hemostasis. Of course, if the bleeding is severe, it is important to seek medical attention in time to avoid delaying treatment.
Why do children get nosebleeds?
1. If the child picks his nostrils frequently, the nasal mucosa will already be damaged and thinned, so that he is prone to nosebleeds.
2. The child's nasal cavity is relatively fragile, and if you accidentally fall and hit the nasal cavity, it may cause bleeding symptoms.
3. If there is a foreign body in the nasal cavity that makes the breathing unsmooth, after a long time, the foreign body in the nasal cavity will swell and mold when exposed to water, and the nasal mucosa will appear.
