Nasal bleeding is a common condition, but it is not a disease. If there is long-term nosebleeds, it is necessary to check and determine the cause. Generally speaking, nosebleeds in children are physiological and do not require treatment. They may also be caused by certain diseases. So, what are the reasons for a child having nosebleeds?
1. When the nasal mucosa is dry, capillaries dilate, there is nasal inflammation or stimulation, nosebleeds are prone to occur, such as various rhinitis, sinusitis, nasal tuberculosis, nasal syphilis, nasal trauma, deviated nasal septum, nasal foreign bodies or nasal tumors.
2. Poor climate conditions, such as dry air, heat, low air pressure, cold, and high room temperature, can all cause nosebleeds.
3. Some children have the bad habit of picking their nostrils with their hands, which can easily cause bleeding when the nasal mucosa is dry.
4. Bad habits such as picky eating, selective eating, and not eating vegetables can also cause nosebleeds due to vitamin deficiency.
5. External injuries are one of the main causes of nosebleeds in children. Children are active and mischievous, and may accidentally bump into hard objects, which can lead to nosebleeds. It is also important to educate children not to pick their nose randomly, as picking their nose may cause damage to the nasal mucosa, resulting in nosebleeds.
6. Nasal mucosal erosion, deviated nasal septum, etc. are the most common causes, and it is recommended to go to an otolaryngology department for examination and diagnosis.
7. The platelet count in the blood is reduced. It is recommended to check the blood routine, as it may be a complication of other diseases. Parents should not take it lightly. Meanwhile, certain systemic diseases such as fever, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, leukemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, etc. can also cause nosebleeds.
