Patient's question:
Duration of onset and persistence of this illness:Around 1 a.m., she wanted to drink milk, and suddenly started crying with a nosebleed. Later, it stopped.
What could have caused this? What should be done?
Doctor's answer:
Hello: It is recommended to take the child to the hospital for an X-ray examination actively. The reasons for nosebleeds are generally divided into two types:The first type--nose mucous membrane tearing, this is the most common cause of nosebleeds, and the main reason for habitual nosebleeds. Because near the front part of the nasal septum in the nose, there are three small blood vessels that intersect, these three small blood vessels are very fragile, and they are intertwined in a very shallow area of the skin surface, the blood vessels are small but if they are accidentally scratched, fresh blood will continuously flow out.
The second type--inflammation of granulation tissue inside the nose, once the granulation tissue becomes inflamed, the nasal polyps will swell and cause severe pain, sinusitis, which is common in children, if it is severe, it may also cause blood and pus to flow out.
