My son is 5 years old. Recently, he has been having nosebleeds in the morning right after waking up. What could be the reason? Today, he also has phlegm.

Patient's question:

Just four days

Doctor's answer:

Nosebleeds may be caused by dry air, dry and fragile nasal mucosa, which is prone to bleeding. You can go to the hospital to get some petroleum jelly or peppermint oil to apply to the nasal cavity. You can also ask the doctor to examine and cauterize the blood vessels in the nasal cavity to prevent frequent nosebleeds. Additionally, a complete blood count should be checked to see if there are any blood system diseases. It's also recommended to consult an ophthalmologist to check for conditions like a deviated septum. In daily life, you should drink more water, eat more vegetables, and avoid picking your nose.
