Most babies experience nosebleeds when they are young. If the amount of bleeding is small and can be easily stopped, general cleaning can be done. However, if the amount of bleeding is large, difficult to stop, and recurrent, it is best to take the baby to an ear, nose, and throat department for examination. So, what's going on when a baby has nosebleeds in the middle of the night?
Firstly, most cases of nosebleeds are caused by dryness in the nose. It is also possible for babies to experience nosebleeds in the middle of the night due to excessively dry environments, such as those caused by leukemia or nasopharyngeal carcinoma, which are very rare and can be almost ignored. For babies with allergic nasopharynx, sneezing may also cause bleeding, but it will not produce a lot of blood.
Secondly, dryness inside the nose can cause the capillaries to become more fragile. Once broken, nosebleeds can occur. Forcefully picking the nose and blowing the nose can also damage the capillaries, leading to nosebleeds. Pay attention to appropriate air humidity to prevent dust from entering the nose and causing rhinitis. There are many methods to prevent nosebleeds.
Another point is that when a baby has nosebleeds, do not tilt your head or lie down, as this can easily cause the nosebleeds to flow back into the throat, which is harmful to the body. If the nosebleeds overflow, the baby can easily let them flow into the ears while lying down, which can cause ear inflammation. It is important to pick up the baby, take measures to stop bleeding, and avoid picking up the nose.
