Medical Video: How to treat and prevent nosebleeds in children
There are two main factors that are the cause of nosebleeds in children or toddlers. The first is organic factors or infant health disorders, where there is or is known to be a congenital organ disorder from birth. This organ abnormality can be a weakness, especially in the nasal organs or indeed the blood vessels are relatively thin, too wide, or too fragile. Because this condition can be considered weak, when children move too much, experience stress, or there is irritation, it is not impossible for nosebleeds to occur in infants and children.
The second factor which is the cause is a factor of medical disorders, in which there is a child's health disorder in the form of blood clots, especially the red blood cells that function to close the wound. Failure to maintain blood clots eventually causes nosebleeds in children.
What causes nosebleeds in children?
1. Extreme air temperature
Now, erratic weather changes make you sick faster, especially if you have a relatively low immune system. The temperature that quickly changes from hot to cold or vice versa can also trigger nosebleeds occur in toddlers and children.
The principle of nosebleeds arises due to extreme weather as well as the cause of infection. Extreme weather changes can cause flu which then makes your toddler wipe his nose. When this bond is too strong, it is not impossible for a toddler or your child to have a nosebleed remembering your baby is known to have blood vessels in the area of the nose that are relatively weak.
2. Frequently scrape the nostrils
Toddlers or children who have a great curiosity about objects around them are not impossible to explore even extreme. Maybe until you put a blunt object into the nostrils which is the cause of nosebleeds in children. The habit of often digging nostrils especially too strong will be able to trigger the onset of nosebleeds also in toddlers.
3. The nose collides or is hit by a hard object
Let alone those who have blood vessels in the area of the nose are weak, people who have blood vessels in the area of the normal nose also have the potential to experience nosebleeds when a collision occurs or get a pretty hard hit.
The explanation is easy, the blood vessels in the nose become broken and eventually the blood comes out through the nostrils. If this happens to you, you should as a mother oversee your child when playing so that they remain safe and avoid the risk of collisions or blows of hard objects.
4. Fatigue
Nosebleeds that occur due to fatigue are actually due to relatively weak blood vessels. When your baby experiences fatigue, this weak blood vessel is easily tense and finally breaks. As a result, nosebleeds cannot be avoided. Be careful with the causes of children often this one nosebleed.
5. Stress
Although it is fairly young and does not understand the real problem, it does not mean that a toddler and children cannot feel pressure or become stressed. The stress experienced by toddlers and children can trigger the appearance of nosebleeds when blood vessels at the age of children, especially in the nose area are classified as still fragile.
This is compounded if the child has a history of asthma which triggers him to get stronger to breathe while the blood vessels in the area of the nose cannot be forced to work hard. In the end, this condition makes the child nosebleed.
