Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago. Recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. I was wondering what could cause sudden nosebleeds in a 3-year-old child?Doctor's answer:
It may be caused by thrombocytopenia or epistaxis. You can go to a specialized clinic for examination. A complete blood count test can rule out the possibility of thrombocytopenia. Treatment should be based on the cause. Consider the possibility of acute bronchitis or pharyngitis. It is recommended to drink more water and avoid spicy and irritating foods. Take anti-inflammatory drugs such as amoxicillin or azithromycin, ambroxol tablets, and cough suppressants like cephalexin for treatment. If necessary, go to the hospital for examination, diagnosis, and treatment.
