Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago. Recently, for some reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. How should I handle the baby's frequent nosebleeds?Doctor's answer:
If a child has lung dryness and blood heat, the nasal mucosa is more prone to bleeding. They should not engage in strenuous exercise, avoid eating overly hot or spicy foods, and snacks should also be avoided. Drink more water or some chrysanthemum tea. Drink honey water in the morning and eat a banana every day. When bleeding, cotton can be used, with the outer edge dipped in petroleum jelly ointment, and then inserted into the nose.Adenoid hypertrophy should not be treated with general anesthesia or surgery. Removing the adenoid, which is a major immune barrier organ, increases postoperative risks, including a higher likelihood of developing bronchitis, pneumonia, and asthma.
