Patient's question:
Is it necessary to go to the hospital for treatment if a child has frequent nosebleeds? How long does it take to recover? Please help me!Doctor's answer:
Hello: When a child gets a nosebleed, at the moment it happens, pinch the front of the nose tightly with two fingers, then let the child breathe through the mouth. This is a method of pressure. The duration is approximately five to ten minutes. In most cases, the bleeding can be stopped. If after five to ten minutes of pressure, the bleeding is still heavy and, it is recommended to seek medical attention and go to the otolaryngology department for treatment.
