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 could be the reason for a four-year-old child always having nosebleeds?Doctor's answer:
Based on the symptoms you mentioned, it is considered to be caused by wind-heat invading the lung, leading to congestion of the nasal mucosa and resulting in nosebleed. Treatment should focus on dispelling wind, clearing heat, cooling blood, and stopping bleeding. Medications such as Sangju Decoction and Yiqing Soft Capsules can be taken. It is recommended to apply cold compresses to the affected area immediately. You can also take Anluoxue or Yunnan Baiyao Capsules to stop bleeding. Additionally, taking some heat-clearing medications like Huanglian Shangqing Pills is appropriate. Drink plenty of water, and if necessary, seek a detailed examination and treatment from an otolaryngology department.
