Patient's question:
Patient: Female, 4 and a half years oldCurrent condition: 1 Accompanied by mild fever and cough; 2 Normal body temperature
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: 1 Received intravenous infusion for 3 days at the community hospital, and the fever and cough symptoms have improved. 2 The doctor diagnosed it as bronchitis.
What kind of assistance is desired: Lately, there have been two episodes of nosebleeds.
What is the reason for this? Is it possible that the patient has a stomachache?
Doctor's answer:
The basic reason for nosebleeds in children is that the capillaries in the nasal mucosa are relatively fragile. If there is inflammation or external force, it can happen again. Generally, it is difficult to cure before puberty, and it often heals on its own after puberty. It is important to prevent external force during daily life. If there is a runny nose, coughing, or fever, it should be treated promptly. When a child has a nosebleed, keep them calm, let them lie down, and apply one drop of nasal decongestant to each nostril. Apply cold water to the bridge of the nose to quickly apply medication. If it is difficult to apply medication and it occurs frequently again, it is necessary to carefully examine whether there is a systemic bleeding disorder.
