Many mothers feel nervous when they see their baby have nosebleeds, especially if they don't know the reason for their baby's nosebleeds yet. Because the baby is still young, any bleeding can make mothers feel that the baby has some serious illness. So, what's going on when a baby suddenly experiences nosebleeds while sleeping?
Sudden nosebleeds while sleeping may indicate that the baby is experiencing internal heat. Nasal bleeding is a common disease in weak babies. Babies who experience recurrent nosebleeds are generally characterized by yin deficiency and excessive fire. The baby must have eaten too much food that can easily cause internal heat. Parents can help their babies rub their feet and encourage them to drink more salt water, so that they won't have nosebleeds again.
Mothers should not let their babies eat foods that are prone to overheating, such as fried foods and puffed foods. You can give your baby more fresh meat, various green leafy vegetables, seasonal fresh fruits, and drink plenty of warm water. Try vitamin C supplements to prevent babies from picking their noses with their hands.
Fragile blood vessels in babies can also lead to sudden nosebleeds during sleep. Generally speaking, some babies often experience nosebleeds due to the rich and relatively fragile blood vessels in their nasal cavity, which can easily lead to nosebleeds. When bleeding, parents should calm down, let the baby calm down, tilt their head back slightly, and press it against the side of the bleeding nose. Most nosebleeds can be stopped. Cold towels and wet towels can also be used on the baby's forehead or nose to cool down and stop bleeding.
