Patient's question:
Hello pediatrician, my child's nosebleed is very severe, and I am very worried. This symptom has been recurring, and we have already had it checked. I hope the doctor can help us.Doctor's answer:
Children's nasal blood vessels are rich and delicate, making them prone to rupture. Fever, dryness, and trauma can all cause nosebleeds. If the bleeding is minor, a cold towel can be applied to the base of the nose to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding is heavy, seek immediate medical treatment. Additionally, frequent nosebleeds should be checked by a doctor to avoid delaying the condition.Pinch the nose. Gently pinch the upper part of the bleeding nostril (the soft part of the nose) with your fingers and apply pressure for 5–10 minutes until the bleeding stops. (There is no need to press the other nostril that is not bleeding; it can maintain normal breathing.)
