A baby's runny nose is a sign of abnormality in the body. Based on the condition of the snot, it can also be determined whether the baby's physical abnormalities have improved or worsened, so that the baby's diet and daily care can be adjusted. But what's going on with blood in the baby's snot? Let's learn about it together.
1. Dry
After friction between the mucous membrane of the baby's nasal cavity and dry air, bleeding may occur. Because the dry air makes the nasal cavity more uncomfortable. If the baby has already caught a cold, has a runny nose, and the nasal mucosa is further stimulated, it will bleed. This requires increasing the humidity of the room air to prevent the baby's nasal mucosa from becoming too dry.
2. Inflammation
When a baby has a runny nose, many mothers think it's because they haven't recovered from a cold. Actually, babies won't stop having a runny nose just because they recover from a cold. Especially prolonged blowing of the nose can cause inflammation in the nasal cavity, and continuous forceful blowing of the nose can exacerbate the inflammation, leading to bloody mucus.
There are many different reasons why babies have bloody snot. When they have internal heat or lack sufficient water, they may have bloody snot. When respiratory infections occur, there may also be mucus and blood. But no matter what the reason is, timely treatment is necessary to reduce or avoid the baby's bloody nose, otherwise it will affect the baby's health. As a mother, it is important to always pay attention to the health of your baby and take measures to help them receive treatment.
