So, what's wrong with a child having a cold and nosebleeds? What should I do if my child has nosebleeds due to a cold? Next, the editor will provide a detailed introduction to this aspect for everyone.
What is the reason for a child having a cold and nosebleeds
Nasal bleeding can be caused by both local and systemic factors Trauma, inflammation, and tumors are the most common local causes Traumatic bleeding, one may know the cause of the injury, but people who frequently use their fingers to pick their nostrils may not necessarily feel the mucous membrane being injured due to picking their nostrils.
Inflammatory bleeding is more common in colds, flu, acute rhinitis, chronic atrophic rhinitis, and pre dry rhinitis, which are prone to bleeding. Tumor nosebleeds mainly occur in two situations: one is vascular malformation bleeding, which sometimes involves a large amount of blood (vascular malformation is benign and can be cured by surgical resection); The second is bleeding from malignant tumors (i.e. cancer), which may cause small amounts of bleeding in the early stages of the cancer, sometimes only mixed with blood streaks in the secretions.
So, for nosebleeds, not only should a large amount of bleeding be taken seriously, but small amounts of bleeding should also be monitored with caution When a small amount of nosebleeds is found, the cause of the bleeding must be carefully investigated As for systemic reasons, they mainly occur in systemic diseases There are many systemic diseases that can cause nosebleeds, such as arteriosclerosis, hypertension, vitamin deficiency, blood disorders, thrombocytopenia, and so on Therefore, when nosebleeds, it is not enough to only look for the cause locally, but also necessary examinations of the whole body should be conducted to address the true cause.
