When babies are young, they like to eat their hands and pick their noses. Mothers must make their babies change these bad habits. Educating babies to do so in daily life is not right, and mothers should pay attention to observing their babies' physical condition. Once abnormalities occur, they should actively seek medical treatment at the hospital. So what's wrong with a 2-year-old baby bleeding from their nose? Let's learn about it together.
What's wrong with a 2-year-old baby bleeding from a nose pick
Baby's condition should be alert to whether it is caused by rhinitis. It is unknown whether the baby has a history of rhinitis. There are many diseases that can cause nosebleeds, such as rhinitis, sinusitis, deviated nasal septum, nasal tumors, etc. Of course, unscientific nose digging, blowing, etc. can also cause nosebleeds, so they should be checked one by one.
What should I do if I have nosebleeds
1. Some people inexplicably feel panic when they see themselves bleeding, fearing that they may have some blood disease causing this situation. At this point, the people around him must comfort him, telling him not to panic and calm down, otherwise the emotional excitement will cause even more severe bleeding.
2. Ask the patient to sit down with their head down and not to lie flat on their back, in order to prevent nosebleeds from flowing back and being swallowed in the stomach. The smell of blood can stimulate the stomach and cause reflexive vomiting.
3. Ask the patient to pinch their nose tightly with their fingers to compress and stop bleeding, usually for about 10 minutes. Depending on their individual coagulation condition, it can be extended appropriately.
4. People around can help prepare a cold towel or cold water bag and place it on the back of the patient's neck or forehead. Cold water stimulates blood vessel contraction and can help stop bleeding as soon as possible.
5. Don't just pull a piece of paper and stuff it into your nose to stop bleeding, as it may contain bacteria or infected wounds. To use sterile cotton balls for filling, if there is Sanqi powder or Yunnan Baiyao powder, it can be sprinkled on top to promote hemostasis.
Through the previous text, I believe everyone has already understood what happens when a 2-year-old baby picks their nose and bleeds. There are many reasons for nosebleeds, some are just simple internal heat, while others are more serious diseases. Therefore, if you have nosebleeds, don't take them lightly and go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible. Don't miss the best time for treatment.
