Rhinitis is a common disease in our lives. When it occurs, it greatly affects the five senses of the human body, especially for children. Some children with rhinitis will have symptoms of nosebleeds, which often causes panic among parents, who mistakenly believe that they have a serious illness.

Causes and hazards of rhinitis and nosebleeds in children

Allergic rhinitis, acute rhinitis and sinusitis are all types of rhinitis that children are more likely to get, and these rhinitis are more likely to cause nosebleeds - the blood vessels in children's nasal mucosa are very thin, and under the erosion of rhinitis, the blood vessels are easily ruptured and cause bleeding. Long-term and repeated nosebleeds in children with rhinitis can easily cause hemorrhagic anemia. If the child is in weak physical condition, it may also cause hemorrhagic shock.

Emergency treatment for nosebleeds in children

1. When children have nosebleeds, the blood usually flows forward or backward into the pharynx, so children are very scared. If the child cries at this time, the nose bleeds more, so parents must calm down and help them stop crying and stopping the bleeding quickly.

2. First, let your child sit up straight, in a comfortable posture, lean forward slightly, then use your hands to gently pinch the nostrils and hold for about 10 minutes. If conditions permit, you can also apply ice to the back of your nose, or use a wet towel to cool it, which will also help stop the bleeding faster. When a child's nosebleed flows into his mouth, give him some boiled water to drink and encourage him to spit out the blood in his mouth to prevent him from feeling nauseous and vomiting.

3. While holding your child and sitting to stop the bleeding, you can let your child watch TV or listen to music to help him/her cooperate. This will prevent your child from crying and can also relieve your mood! After the child's nosebleed stops, you should teach the child not to blow or pick his nose within 24 hours. You should also teach the child to develop the habit of not picking his nose with his hands. If he has nasal congestion, he can use saline nasal wash to clean it. Do not blow your nose too hard.

Children with rhinitis should pay attention to a light diet and eat less fried foods; actively prevent colds and other febrile diseases; if there is a history of nosebleeds, they can take honeysuckle, chrysanthemum, Ophiopogon japonicus, etc. to prevent it.
