The weather is gradually getting colder, and many friends will catch colds. Undoubtedly, babies have relatively poor physical fitness and are more prone to colds and nosebleeds. So, what's going on with a baby having a cold and nosebleeds? What should I do if my baby has a cold and nosebleeds? Next, the editor will provide a detailed introduction to this aspect for everyone.
What's wrong with a baby having a cold and nosebleeds
Children with nosebleeds are usually caused by injuries to the anterior part of the nasal septum, where several blood vessels intersect and are arteries, resulting in a significant amount of bleeding. Children who are prone to nosebleeds can be roughly divided into the following categories:
Children who suffer from a cold - because a cold can reduce the resistance of the nasal mucosa, coupled with the symptoms of a cold (nasal congestion, runny nose, nasal pus, etc.), children may make some actions that directly damage the nasal mucosa (such as blowing their nose hard, picking their nose, etc.), making them prone to nosebleeds.
Children with nasal allergies - due to itching, runny nose, and nasal congestion, they often dig their nose, resulting in frequent damage to the nasal mucosa and bleeding.
Children who have the habit of using their fingers to pick their nostrils - due to frequent picking of their nostrils, the entrance and vestibule of the nose are repeatedly injured, scabbed, and stained with nasal mucus. This vicious cycle can lead to ulceration and easy bleeding at the entrance and vestibule of the nose.
Children with blood disorders - Although their nose is not injured, they often experience nosebleeds, which are usually slow but frequent. This type of nosebleeds is often caused by blood disorders. In such cases, it is necessary to immediately go to the hospital for a blood test to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.
What should I do if my baby has a cold and nosebleeds
When a child has a cold, fever, and nosebleeds, a thin rope can be used to tie the lower part of the child's middle finger, which can quickly stop the bleeding and is very effective.
When a child has a cold, fever, and nosebleeds, parents can use garlic to stop the bleeding. The method is to crush the garlic and apply it to the child's spring hole or apply a band aid to the child's foot. This can prevent nosebleeds caused by colds and fevers.
When a child has a cold, fever, and nosebleeds, scallion juice can be used to treat nosebleeds. Applying scallion juice to the nasal cavity to stop bleeding is a good method. Scallion juice has a pungent taste, a warm and smooth nature, and is non-toxic. It can dispel congestion and stop bleeding. The method is to use the juice of scallions, especially the large healing agent inside the scallions. Wash the scallions clean, then dip a cotton ball into the mucus and stuff it into both nostrils. After using it several times, there will be a significant effect. At the same time, pay attention to eating more vegetables and fruits, drinking more water, eating less spicy and dry foods, and not picking your nose.
