Nose bleeding, mouth spitting blood clots

There is a channel connecting the nose and mouth of the human body, so when people suck their noses too hard, they often suck the snot directly into their mouths. When you are bleeding from the nose, be careful not to inhale forcefully, otherwise the blood will flow directly into your mouth, which would look very scary. What could be the cause of nose bleeding accompanied by spitting out blood clots from the mouth?

When vomiting blood from the mouth or bleeding from the nose, the cause of the bleeding should be further clarified. If the bleeding is caused by abnormal coagulation function, thrombin should be supplemented to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding is caused by getting angry, then after washing with cold water, taking drugs to clear heat and reduce fire can generally stop the bleeding. If the bleeding is caused by certain blood system diseases, then the root cause should be treated. Yunnan Baiyao can be taken to stop the bleeding. It is recommended that if you have unexplained frequent bleeding, you should go to the hospital for relevant examinations to further clarify the situation.

What to do if your nose bleeds

1. If nose bleeding occurs, let the patient sit or semi-recumbent, and comfort the patient to avoid excessive tension and keep him as calm as possible. Because mental stress often increases blood pressure and intensifies bleeding; patients with nosebleeds caused by high blood pressure should pay special attention to this.

2. Local treatment mainly involves compression to stop bleeding, and the treatment steps depend on the location and extent of bleeding.

(1) Ask the patient to pinch both sides of the nose with the thumb and index finger for 5-10 minutes to stop the bleeding.

(2) If the bleeding does not stop, you can stuff a clean cotton ball, gelatin sponge, soft cloth, etc. into the nasal cavity to apply pressure to stop the bleeding.

(3) If the bleeding still persists, a dry cotton ball or hemostatic sponge dipped in hemostatic powder, 1% ephedrine, or 1% adrenaline can be inserted into the nasal cavity to astringe and stop the bleeding. While carrying out the above three treatments, you can also apply a cold towel or ice pack to the forehead, nose, neck or pillow, and change it repeatedly to promote blood vessel contraction and reduce bleeding.

(4) If bleeding occurs repeatedly or the amount of bleeding is heavy, you need to clean the blood in the nasal cavity first, find the bleeding site as much as possible, and then fill and press the bleeding site with a sterilized vaseline gauze strip. The oil gauze strip can be left in the nasal cavity for 24-72 hours. When the nosebleed has stopped, the oil gauze can be removed after an appropriate period of time. If bleeding continues after 24-72 hours, the patient should be sent to the hospital for treatment immediately.

3. Systemic treatment mainly focuses on the treatment of possible shock. If the nose bleeding does not stop after the above methods and shock occurs, the patient should be placed in a supine position with the head tilted to the healthy side to prevent blood from flowing into the pharynx, causing nausea and aggravating bleeding. At the same time, use acupuncture or finger pressure on the Ren Zhong and Yongquan points to rescue. And send to nearby hospital for treatment in time.

4. Ear therapy

(1) Blowing method: Blow air into the ear on the same side. The operator pinches the upper part of the patient's ear with one hand and pulls open the earlobe with the other hand to enlarge the ear hole. Then the operator takes a deep breath and blows air into the ear hole evenly with his mouth. Repeat this three times and the nosebleed can usually be stopped. If bleeding still occurs, repeat the above steps once more.

(2) Plug the ear canal with an alcohol cotton ball: Use a 75% alcohol cotton ball (or a cotton ball soaked in shochu or kaoliang wine) to plug the ear canal on the same side to stop the nosebleed.

(3) Pressing the ear tip point on the same side can also stop nosebleeds. Press for 3-5 minutes each time.
