Patient's question:
In the recent months of this year, I have been experiencing nosebleeds. Sometimes, in the morning, when the child sits up, blood flows out for no reason.I haven't gone to the hospital.
Doctor's answer:
The most common cause of nosebleeds in children is dry nasal mucosa, which leads to the rupture of capillaries and bleeding. In this case, the amount of blood loss is usually small, and it can be stopped on its own or by applying a cold towel to the bridge of the nose. Another common cause is the habit of children poking their noses with their fingers, which damages the nasal mucosa and causes bleeding. Additionally, bleeding can be caused by blood disorders, such as thrombocytopenia, leukemia, and aplastic anemia.
