Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. I was wondering, what illness could cause a 15-month-old child to have a runny nose and nosebleeds?Doctor's answer:
Not capillaries being fragile, it's either high blood pressure. If it's just this time, there's no need to go to the hospital. If there's such a case, you need to take him for a blood test to check if it's a blood disease.The main methods of Western medicine for treating acute rhinitis in children are:
1. Treating it like a cold, using anticyclical drugs for internal use, and symptomatic treatment (fever reducers, cough suppressants). Often, antibiotics are also used (commonly penicillin-based or cephalosporin-based; if internal administration is not possible, intravenous administration is used). The main purpose is to prevent infection or prevent the occurrence of complications.
2. Nasal drops, mainly two types: one are decongestants (such as 1% ephedrine nasal drops), the main purpose is to reduce nasal congestion, facilitate mucus discharge, and alleviate symptoms and prevent complications; the other are anti-inflammatory nasal drops (such as streptomycin nasal drops or other anti-inflammatory nasal drops), the main purpose is to eliminate nasal inflammation.
