Patient's question:
Children's noses bleed at night in winter. What's the matter? Is it a congenital condition? Should they go to the hospital for treatment?Doctor's answer:
The indoor temperature in winter is relatively high and the air is dry in this area. The child frequently nosebleeds in the capillary-rich area of the anterior nasal septum. This part of the capillary network is relatively superficial. Combined with the high indoor temperature and dry air, nosebleeds can be triggered when the child blows their nose, coughs, or sneezes. It is recommended to lower the indoor temperature and increase the air humidity at night to create a comfortable environment for the child. Of course, it is also necessary to rule out any local conditions such as acute or chronic rhinitis, sinusitis, or other diseases in the child.
