What should a girl who is 8 years old do if her nose occasionally bleeds in the past two years?

Patient's question:

Girl, 18 years old, her nose has occasionally peeled in the past two years. She initially thought it was due to her having a "fire" (a traditional Chinese medicine term for internal heat), so she was given cooling herbs at each stage. What could be causing this condition? If she goes to the hospital, which hospital in Harbin is specialized in this? What kind of detailed examination would be needed?

Doctor's answer:

Common causes of nosebleeds in children include eroded nasal mucosa, often related to conditions such as rhinitis, runny nose, nose-picking, poor diet, dry nasal mucosa, and hiccups or coughing. It is recommended to seek a comprehensive hospital with an otolaryngology department for a follow-up examination and a thorough check-up, including blood tests and coagulation function tests, to rule out any abnormalities in blood components.
The above is advice for this issue. We hope it helps you, and wish you a speedy recovery!
