How to treat occasional nosebleeds in an 8-year-old child

Patient's question:

Girl, 18 years old, recently in the past two years her nose occasionally gets chapped. At first, I thought it was due to her having a heat condition, so I gave her cooling herbs at each stage, but this condition persists. What could be causing this? If she goes to the hospital, which hospital in Harbin is good at this? What kind of detailed examination would be needed?

Doctor's answer:

Common causes of nosebleeds in children include eroded nasal mucosa, often related to conditions such as rhinitis, runny nose, nose-picking, poor diet, dry nasal mucosa, and hiccups or coughing. It is recommended to seek a comprehensive hospital with an otolaryngology department for a follow-up examination and thorough check-up. Routine tests such as blood tests and coagulation function tests should be conducted to rule out any abnormalities in blood components.
