Last night......
"Ah! ......
Nosebleeds again! ”
A scream woke me up in my dream.
It turned out that my boy had nosebleeds again. Slept well, and suddenly he rubbed his nose. Finished, ticking, in a moment the pillow sheets were painted with plum blossoms.
The child has a nosebleed, and the most nervous is the mother. Thinking of the helpless look of his mother when the child first had a nosebleed, I felt that it was necessary to talk about the child's "nosebleed" and those things.
There are many causes of nosebleeds in children, the most common being the following:
1. Caused by trauma. It is to break the nose, such as being beaten, bumping and so on;
2. Pick your nose with your hands. Some children like to pick their noses, sometimes the tip of the nails, the nasal mucosa is broken, bleeding;
3. Nasal mucosa is dry and fragile, especially in winter, staying in the air-conditioned room for a long time in summer will also appear, and the nasal mucosa will be dry and fragile and bleeding;
4. Caused by other diseases: mainly some systemic diseases, such as abnormal coagulation factors or tumors in the nasal cavity, will also be manifested in the form of "nosebleeds" in the early stage.
However, some children have no trauma, no rhinitis or cold, no special diseases, and not in the dry winter, why do they love nosebleeds?
This kind of nosebleed can often stop on its own. After the bleeding stopped, the child's spirit was very good, there was no discomfort, and often he could not find any problems when he went to the hospital for examination. What's going on here? Should I take medicine to treat this situation?
In this case, parents can rest assured that there is generally no problem with the child's body, and there is no need to take medicine for treatment.
This kind of nosebleed is believed by Chinese medicine to be caused by internal fire. On apyrogenic inflammation, the fire runs along the meridians, up to the nasal knots, burns the yang network (small blood vessels under the skin), and the blood vessels rupture, resulting in nosebleeds. In the "Lingshu - The Beginning of a Hundred Diseases", it is recorded: "Yangluo injuries are spilled with blood, and blood spills out with blood." "That's the case.
So, the child is fine, where is so much fire in the body? This has to start from the child's physiological characteristics.
Chinese medicine believes that children "often have more than yang, but yin is often insufficient", "the liver is often surplus, while the spleen is often insufficient, and the lungs are often weak." ”
Children often run before and after, jump up and down, and will not be at peace for a moment, like a small machine with full horsepower. We know that machines run to produce heat, like the engine of a car, right?
What do we do to cool the engine? One is to use water, directly up the water, or let the water circulate to take the tropics away; the second is to open the hood and directly dissipate heat.
The same is true of our human body. The yin fluid of the human body - blood, tissue fluid and other liquid substances, is the water that cools down the human engine. However, the child's yin is often insufficient, so it is not enough to rely on the water in the human body to cool down. So, all this heat has to find an outlet and excrete it, right? That is, to open the hood of the engine. But we can't have the skull uncovered to dissipate heat, can we? So how does all this heat get out? I said on a radio show that excess heat in the body dissipates as sweat evaporates. But what about when sweating isn't enough to drain those calories? Then there is only another way out.
We know that hot air goes up. The heat generated in our bodies also goes up. The blood vessels under the nasal mucosa can be said to be the weakest place in the upper part of the human body. Since it is weak here, the heat in the body will break through the blood vessels here, overflow the nasal cavity, and bleed from the nose.
This is why children who "often have more than enough yang and insufficient yin" can cause bleeding. But what exactly are these fires, and how do they come about?
