What is the situation when a 10-year-old child frequently has nosebleeds?

Patient's question:

I don't know what's going on, but my child has been misbehaving and crying non-stop lately. Even the hospital check-ups haven't helped. Could you please tell me what could be the reason for frequent nosebleeds in a 10-year-old child?

Doctor's answer:

Hello, nosebleed. First, consider whether it is due to dry air, dry and fragile nasal mucosa, which is prone to bleeding. You can go to the hospital to get some petroleum jelly or menthol oil to apply to the nasal cavity. You can also ask the doctor to examine and cauterize the blood vessels in the nasal cavity to avoid frequent nosebleeds. Additionally, it may be due to inflammation of the nasal mucosa, blood diseases, or poisoning from chemicals such as mercury, phosphorus, and arsenic. It is recommended to get checked and pay attention to eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking more water. Avoid picking your nose with your hands.
