When a child is in the house, anything can happen. And nosebleeds are far from the biggest problem. However, every mother should be able to competently cope with it. And for this it is necessary to understand what led to this kind of violation. So, why does the nose bleed in children?
Causes
Young children are very restless and inquisitive, they strive to escape from their parents and independently learn about the world around them. As a result, broken knees, bruises and abrasions are simply provided. Not so rare - blood from the nose in children. The causes can be very diverse, but the most common are mechanical damage to a given part of the body. As a result, bleeding. The child can simply fall and break his nose, he can pick his nose in the nostrils too eagerly, which can injure the mucous membrane. In order to stop the blood, in this case it will be enough to apply ice or something cold to the pinched nose. However, if the problem persists for 10 minutes, it is best to seek the help of a doctor.
Why else can blood come from the nose in children? The problem can be viral or bacterial in nature, when the disease damages the nasal mucosa, and it just bleeds from time to time. This phenomenon is eliminated in the usual way - you need to attach something cold to the baby's nose.
Nasal bleeding in a child can also cause certain medications. For example, those that constrict blood vessels - Nazivin, Nazol, etc. These medicines, with prolonged use, cause atrophy of the nasal vessels, and their injury can occur even with the slightest touch.
Some diseases can also cause nosebleeds in children. The reasons in this situation lie in the poor coagulability of the blood, atrophy of the vessels of the nose, etc. The vessels become so thin that they respond to the slightest irritant. And poor coagulability gives significant blood loss. Therefore, with such diseases and - as a result - nosebleeds, it is better to seek help from specialists.
Why can nosebleeds often come from children? The reasons may lie even in natural conditions. If the family lives in an area with a dry, hot climate, the nasal mucosa atrophies, and therefore even with minor mechanical damage begins to bleed. Therefore, in children on vacation in the southern regions, nosebleeds can occur more often than usual.
If a child’s nose bleeds, it is worth checking his nostrils for the development of various kinds of formations in them - polyps or angiomas. These growths can also permanently injure the nasal mucosa and cause bleeding.
Epistaxis may occur in girls in adolescence. You should not be afraid, because this is just a consequence of hormonal changes in the body of the future woman. When the vessels are completely filled with blood, the nasal mucosa can be irritated and bleed.
Strong blood from the nose may be due to the negative effects of certain environmental factors. So, radiation background, enhanced electromagnetic waves, electrical, thermal or chemical effects on a child can cause nosebleeds.
