What is the reason for the child's nose always being chapped?

Patient's question:

My daughter doesn't know what's wrong with her. Now she's even bleeding from her nose even when she takes a nap. I wiped her with cool water, but it still broke. It really makes me worry. Who doesn't get concerned because of some illness or because she hasn't been sleeping well lately? During the day, she's been so tired that her son has already started bleeding at night. Can you tell me about it?
What kind of help is needed: Why does the child's nose keep breaking out?

Doctor's answer:

Based on your description, it is likely that the child's condition, such as nosebleeds, is caused by inflammation of the nasal mucosa in the Kiesselbach's area, which may be due to dry air and/or nose picking. It is recommended that you use physiological saline nasal spray (like Xylometazoline) and erythromycin ointment to treat the nose. During this period, avoid nose picking and consuming spicy or other irritating foods. Encourage the child to drink more water and eat more fresh vegetables and fruits.
