Baby, what about nosebleeds?

When the baby has a nosebleed, parents should first keep calm. Because your emotions will directly affect your children. Once a child feels nervous, his blood pressure will rise, making it more difficult to stop nosebleeds. This article will introduce the causes of baby's nosebleed and the correct hemostasis methods to help you better cope with this situation.

Causes of nosebleeds

There are many reasons for nosebleeds. For example, in dry and cold weather, colds, nasal allergies or sinusitis, children may rub their noses and blow their noses because their noses are uncomfortable, leading to the rupture of fragile mucous membranes. It may also be because of the habit of picking your nose or accidentally hitting it. If you often have nosebleeds for unknown reasons, or the bleeding time is too long, you'd better check with a doctor.

Correct hemostasis method

When stopping bleeding, you should first keep the child calm. The previous method was leaning back, but it was easy for children to swallow nosebleeds or suffocate. The correct way is to let the child sit up straight with his head slightly lowered, and gently pinch his nose with his thumb and forefinger for about five to ten minutes, and the bleeding will stop. During this period, children can't do strenuous exercise, rub their noses or dig out blood clots in the nasal cavity.

Ask a doctor to check.

If the above methods cannot stop the bleeding, please seek the help of a doctor as soon as possible. Doctors may use cotton yarn stained with hemostatic drugs to help stop the bleeding.
