1. Causes of nosebleeds in children
In cold weather, we like to eat some hot food. When eating, the hot air will make the blood in the nasal cavity run faster. If the nasal mucosa is naturally thin or injured, it is easy to have nosebleeds. When people's qi and blood rise, especially when the lung is hot, people will have nosebleeds. Therefore, in daily diet, we should pay attention to clearing away heat and reducing fire, eat less spicy food, and try to avoid the occurrence of lung heat.
Children often have some infectious diseases with acute onset and high fever, especially upper respiratory tract infection. During high fever, the blood vessels in the skin and mucosa of the whole body are congested and swollen, and the nasal mucosa is also diseased. Acute congestion and swelling of the nasal mucosa are more likely to cause rupture and bleeding, because the hail blood vessels in the nasal mucosa are superficial. Once the fever is severe, coupled with the external force of blowing your nose, the submucosal blood vessels will rupture and bleed.
2. Treatment of children with nosebleeds
It is best to let the child sit still, lean his head forward slightly, and spit the blood in the nasopharyngeal cavity into his mouth as much as possible, so that he can know the amount of bleeding and avoid swallowing nosebleeds into his stomach, stimulating his stomach and causing abdominal pain and vomiting.
It should be emphasized that the treatment of epistaxis should start with the cause. If it is caused by various rhinitis, rhinitis should be treated first. Trauma or nosebleeds caused by foreign bodies in the nose should be treated to remove the foreign bodies.
3. What do you eat with nosebleeds?
According to Compendium of Materia Medica, lotus root is sweet in taste and cold in nature, which can cool blood and stop bleeding, clear away heat and stomach, remove blood stasis and vomit blood, mouth and nose bleeding, postpartum blood tightness, cure gold sores, thirst, cholera, boredom and hangover. Acquaintances are warm, can strengthen the spleen and appetite, nourish blood and heart, strengthen the five internal organs, strengthen the lower energizer, promote digestion, stop diarrhea and promote granulation. Taking it for a long time will make people happy and stop being angry.
Black sesame is sweet and flat, and has the functions of nourishing liver and kidney, nourishing blood and moistening dryness. Modern medical research shows that black sesame contains protein, fat, vitamin E, vitamin B 1, B2, various amino acids and trace elements such as calcium, phosphorus and iron, which can delay aging. Iron in black sesame seeds can prevent anemia, and vitamin E can promote blood circulation, thus improving immunity.
4. Emergency treatment of nosebleeds
Looking up seems to have stopped bleeding, but I can't see the outflow of blood. In fact, blood continues to flow in. If you look up when you have a nosebleed, it will easily lead to the following consequences: the blood that has flowed out of the nasal cavity will flow back to your throat because of posture and gravity, and it will not be able to stop bleeding. Blood in the throat will be swallowed into the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract, which will stimulate the gastrointestinal mucosa to feel uncomfortable or vomit.
When nosebleeds, you can plug your nostrils with cotton and hold your nose to stop bleeding. The effect will be better, or you can press your forehead and nose with cold water, which can make the blood vessels contract quickly and achieve the purpose of stopping bleeding. The cause of nosebleeds may also be a problem with the body's immune system, or a disease such as a tumor. If the situation is serious, go to the hospital as soon as possible.
5. How to prevent nosebleeds?
Keep the room quiet and clean, and the temperature should be appropriate. Keep the indoor air fresh, properly open the window for ventilation, and keep the temperature at 18~20℃. Because too dry air can induce nosebleeds, the air humidity should be ≥60%. For children with nosebleeds, it is necessary to correct their bad habits such as digging nose excrement, rubbing their noses and curiously placing foreign bodies, which may easily cause mucosal damage.
Old people should go slow when they are active on weekdays. Don't blow your nose hard to relieve your cough. Diet should include some digestible soft foods, eat more fruits and vegetables, avoid spicy and irritating diet, and keep the stool unobstructed. Constipation patients can be given laxatives. Elderly patients with epistaxis are often accompanied by hypertension, coronary heart disease and bronchitis. The primary disease should be prevented regularly and the corresponding treatment should be carried out according to the cause. Especially for patients with hypertension, we must control their blood pressure to normal or close to normal level as soon as possible, observe the changes of their condition and go to the hospital in time.
6, the harm of frequent nosebleeds
1, pregnant women [3] frequent nosebleeds will affect the health of the fetus, which will seriously cause fetal distress and even premature or stillbirth.
2, nosebleeds can cause hemorrhagic anemia, short-term blood loss can cause acute hemorrhagic anemia, and long-term repeated nosebleeds can cause chronic hemorrhagic anemia.
3, nosebleeds can also cause hemorrhagic shock, mainly in the elderly and infirm, because of their poor heart, lung and kidney compensation function, acute massive blood loss or nosebleeds continue, which is easy to lead to shock.
4. nosebleeds can easily lead to presbycusis, mainly due to ischemia and hypoxia in the inner ear caused by hemorrhagic anemia.
5, nosebleeds lead to a sudden drop in blood pressure, which makes acute coronary insufficiency, which is more likely to cause attacks or aggravate the original cardiovascular insufficiency. Nosebleeds can also induce congestive heart failure and pulmonary edema, and severe anemia can also lead to myocardial infarction, which is one of the causes of death from nosebleeds.
6. Hypertension arteriosclerosis is the main cause of epistaxis in patients with hypertension. If hemostatics, coagulants and antihypertensive drugs are abused, nosebleeds will cause cerebrovascular accidents.
7. nosebleeds make nosebleeds enter the maxillary sinus cavity. When there is a potential infection focus in the sinus cavity, the blood entering the sinus cavity coagulates with the focus as the core, forming onion-like pale yellow tumor-like tissue, so it is called inflammatory necrotizing pseudotumor. The long-term compression of the surrounding tissues, especially the inner wall bone, can destroy and absorb the bone, and the inflammatory necrotic tissue can stimulate the local area and cause bleeding.
8. The most direct causes of asphyxia caused by nosebleeds are blood inhalation, blood clot blockage in the hypopharynx and blood shedding from the mucosal surface of the larynx and hypopharynx. Patients who are old, weak, unconscious or anesthetized on the surface of throat mucosa are more likely to suffocate due to nosebleeds.
9. The causes of death of epistaxis include myocardial infarction, subarachnoid hemorrhage, cerebral hemorrhage, pneumonia and septicemia, small intestine infarction, osteosarcoma, cirrhosis, amyloidosis and blood drawing.
10, children with nosebleeds are prone to anemia, and insufficient blood supply to the brain leads to poor memory, poor eyesight and low immunity. Excessive nosebleeds lead to more nutrient loss, which is characterized by short stature at the age of 12- 16. A child's nosebleed will lead to inattention in class, decreased academic performance, and tears with a large amount of blood clots. Children with nosebleeds can also cause fear and anxiety, which seriously affects children's physical and mental health and personality growth. If children's epistaxis is not treated properly or in time, it will induce nasal mucosa atrophy, anemia, thrombocytopenia (even leukemia), and even lead to ischemic shock, which is life-threatening.
