Patient's question:
The child has only been born for a few days, and recently, for some reason, they keep scratching their ears. Why does a five-year-old child get nosebleeds?Doctor's answer:
When the nasal cavity is excessively dry, the capillaries inside can rupture, leading to bleeding. Clinically, 90% of cases of nosebleeds are caused by vascular rupture, resulting in vascular bleeding. In this case, patients don't need to be too anxious, as most situations can be treated independently by stopping the bleeding promptly.When experiencing nosebleeds, you can plug your nose with a cotton ball and tilt your head back to help stop the bleeding quickly. At the same time, you can also apply a cool towel to your forehead or nose to lower the temperature of your head and nose, alleviating the bleeding symptoms. If the bleeding in the nasal cavity is excessive and difficult to stop, it is important to seek medical attention promptly.
