Many people have experienced occasional nosebleeds, which are often directly related to internal heat or improper cleaning of nasal secretions. Moreover, some babies may experience nosebleeds, which can also cause concern for parents. So, what causes nosebleeds in a 20 month old baby?
1. The air is too dry. If the weather is hot and the indoor air is too dry, it is easy for the baby's nasal mucosa to shrink due to dryness. And the nasal mucosa of babies is already sensitive, so the fragility of capillaries is higher than that of adults. In addition, when the air is too dry, it is easy for capillaries to rupture and cause bleeding.
2. Causes of internal heat. If feeding is not done properly in daily life, the baby will drink less water, which often causes the body to become overheated, making it easy for the mucous membrane in the nasal cavity to lose water, especially when rubbing or picking the nose, which often leads to bleeding.
3. Nasal inflammation. Some babies also suffer from respiratory infections, allergic rhinitis, or other nasal inflammations, which can cause bleeding and swelling of the nasal mucosa, and in severe cases, even erosion. This situation is prone to bleeding and there are often blood streaks in the mucus.
4. Blood diseases. Some systemic blood system diseases can cause thrombocytopenia, poor coagulation function, and spontaneous nasal bleeding.
