The child has a nosebleed. How to handle it better?

What should the child do after nosebleeds? What is the reason for the child's nosebleed?

1, raise your head to stop bleeding-pneumonia, severe asphyxia

Upward hemostasis can easily make blood flow from nasal cavity into pharynx, esophagus and stomach, causing discomfort and nausea. Some people are sick and vomiting blood. When the amount of bleeding is large, it is easy to choke into the trachea and lungs, leading to aspiration pneumonia and even suffocation. Severe suffocation is also life-threatening.

2, nostril toilet paper-friction injury, infection

Blocking and winding with paper balls is easy to rub and damage the nasal mucosa, destroy some fragile capillaries and aggravate bleeding. And if the nostril is blocked, the nosebleed that originally flowed downwards may flow back to the mouth, esophagus and even trachea.

If it is high-quality and cheap toilet paper, it is easy to cause infection. Block your nostrils with paper. The depth and compression of embolization are not enough, and there will be no obvious hemostasis effect.

So how to stop bleeding correctly? Look here! !

1, let the child lean forward, open his mouth and breathe through it;

2. Squeeze the sides of the nose with your hands for about 10 minutes, which hurts a little.

3, you can also stick an ice pack on your nose, which can promote blood vessel contraction and reduce bleeding.

If the amount of bleeding is too large to stop by itself, or accompanied by other symptoms, such as bleeding for more than 15 minutes, or unable to stop, or a large amount of blood gushing from the nose and mouth, you should be sent to the hospital quickly.

Second, if nosebleeds often occur, even if the child is not unwell, take the child to the hospital for examination in time. Repeated bleeding can easily lead to anemia or insufficient blood supply to the brain. If you do this for a long time, it will also affect your child's growth and development.

Nosebleeds are generally not a big problem, but it is easy to have an accident if the hemostasis method is wrong!
