Patient's question:
Our baby at home now, yesterday didn't know what was wrong, no signs at all, the baby suddenly had a nosebleed. Please ask what to do if a child has a cold and nosebleed?Doctor's answer:
It could be a cold causing severe nasal congestion, or it might be dryness leading to skin peeling. The best approach is to immediately press both sides of the nostrils tightly with your thumb and middle finger to stop the bleeding from the peeling area. After about five minutes, release and see how to apply medication. If the bleeding persists, repeat the nose pressing for five to ten minutes. In most cases, this should allow for medication application. If it doesn’t work, you must go to the emergency department immediately.During treatment, the patient should maintain a balanced diet, follow a regular sleep schedule, actively engage in physical exercise, and regulate physical and mental health. It’s also important to maintain personal hygiene to avoid bacterial invasion due to weakened immunity.
