Patient's question:
The child is three and a half years old. Recently, for some unknown reason, he has been experiencing frequent nosebleeds, and the blood is always bright red. He often picks his nose, doing it without fail whenever he gets the chance. We have tried to stop him, but lately, the frequency of his nosebleeds has increased. We took him to the hospital, and they said there was nothing seriously wrong, possibly just due to him picking his nose.Could there be any other reasons for the nosebleeds? How should they be treated?
Doctor's answer:
There are many reasons for nosebleeds, such as having a stomachache, or having a cold, or breaking a blood vessel inside the nose. Both having a stomachache and accidentally breaking a blood vessel inside the nose can lead to nosebleeds, and if it's severe, it can also lead to a cold. If both sides are broken, pinch both nostrils. After the bleeding stops, there are often clots in the nostrils. You can press the side with bleeding towards the bridge of the nose to make the blood clot, and then apply medicine. It is recommended to pay attention not to use your hands to dig, wish you health.
