When babies are young, the inner lining of the nasal cavity is not fully developed, and the internal tissues are delicate and easily affected by adverse factors, which can lead to bleeding. Many babies experience bleeding when their nose is pinched, which makes parents feel anxious but also flustered. So what should I do if my baby's nose is bleeding?
Firstly, if a baby's nasal discharge causes bleeding, the most critical issue at this time is to stop the bleeding. If there is less blood flow, rinsing with clean water can stop the bleeding. If the blood flow is large, you can use gauze to block the nostrils, and apply a cold towel to the forehead to achieve rapid hemostasis. If the blood flow is not significant, you should seek medical attention promptly to check if any blood vessels are injured.
Secondly, if a baby has nasal discharge, do not button it yourself. Parents should also adopt more effective methods, such as using a nasal cannula or specialized tweezers. If the nasal discharge is dry, do not forcefully press it. Use a cotton swab dipped in warm water to moisten the nasal cavity first, and then use a nasal cannula to suck out the nasal discharge after it softens. The correct approach will effectively prevent bleeding from occurring.
These are common problems encountered by babies during their growth. Parents should not worry too much, as long as they adjust their methods, they can effectively avoid such situations from happening. It is very necessary to give babies plenty of water in daily life, pay attention to the humidity of indoor air, so that even if there is nasal discharge, it will not be too hard, and it will be easier to clean without causing harm.
