My nose has been bleeding for the past two days.

There has been a little blood in my nose these two days. There are many possible reasons. The most typical one is caused by getting angry. It is easy to judge by combining other characteristics of the person. It may also be caused by rhinitis, which is a very common disease and is definitely more harmful than getting a sore throat. Therefore, it is very important to find out the main cause of nose bleeding. Only by determining the cause can it be better solved. Let’s take a look below.

The reason why there is often blood in the nose

From the perspective of traditional Chinese medicine, the lungs open up to the nose, and diseases of the nose are often related to the lungs. When we breathe air, it first passes through the nose, followed by the throat, trachea, and lungs. The air we exhale also exits through the nose, so diseases of the nose are largely related to the lungs (or breathing).

From the perspective of Western medicine, it is the vascular congestion that causes vascular dilation, and bloodshot nostrils, and in severe cases, rupture and bleeding.

First, cool down your body

When someone shouts, "Fire!" what is your first reaction? I think most people would think, "Put out the fire." Similarly, when there is fire in our body, we also need to cool down our body. We can go to the pharmacy to buy some cooling medicine, or eat some cooling food, or use physical therapy with a cold towel.

If there is bleeding, stop the bleeding

When the condition is mild, the nose will show bloodshot eyes, and when it is severe, it will bleed. If there is bleeding, we should stop the bleeding first. After the bleeding stops, we should drink some anti-inflammatory medicine or anti-inflammatory medicine according to the situation.

Frequent nose picking and bloodshot

The mucus secreted by the nasal cavity, which we call snot, has the function of moisturizing and protecting our nose. If you pick your nose frequently, it will damage the protective mucous membrane, causing your nose to not be moistened, your nasal cavity to become dry, and bloodshot or bleeding to appear in your nostrils. Therefore, we should pick our nose less often to reduce damage to this protective film.

Environmentally induced dry rhinitis

Use a humidifier to moisten the air in your environment. Supplement your daily diet with more cod liver oil and vitamin B2. If it's too dry, try using nose oil. If not taken seriously, it may turn into chronic dry rhinitis.

Increase water intake on a regular basis

When the weather is dry and you are working late at night, you must ensure that you drink enough water. Only by increasing the water intake can our body avoid dehydration, the exhaled and inhaled gases will be moist, the nose can be nourished, and bloodshot nose will not occur.

Develop good living habits

Stay up late less, pick your nose less, drink more water, eat less spicy food, etc., to prevent damage to the yin fluid. Pay attention to protecting your nasal cavity at ordinary times. The nose is easily irritated in cold weather. You can wear a mask to reduce the irritation of the nose by cold air.
