What to do if a child suddenly gets a nosebleed while sleeping

Sudden nosebleeds in small children may be caused by environmental factors, rhinitis, and structural abnormalities of the nasal cavity. The symptoms of nosebleeds are usually relieved by improving the environment, physical therapy and medication. 1. Environmental factors: If the indoor environment is dry or the temperature is high, the nasal mucosa of small children may be dry and cracked, and there are symptoms such as sudden nosebleed while sleeping, parents need to pay attention to maintain a certain degree of indoor temperature and humidity, to prevent small children’s nasal mucosa from drying out too much and being damaged. If necessary, you can use physiological seawater to moisten the nasal cavity. 2. Rhinitis: when a child has rhinitis, the nasal mucosa is congested and edematous, and sudden nosebleeds can occur while sleeping, at this time, physiological seawater can be used to spray the nose, mometasone furoate nasal spray and other weak nasal hormone drugs to relieve the symptoms of nosebleeds. 3. Nasal structure abnormalities: such as nasal septum deviation, the nasal septum is often biased to one side or both sides, or the surface of the convex, convex mucous membrane tension is large and thin, by a large friction will also appear in the sleep of the symptoms of a sudden nosebleed, the diagnosis of nasal septum deviation can be carried out in the septum submucous resection or septum submucous corrective surgery. Children with nosebleeds can relieve them by applying ice packs to the root of the nose and pressing on the root of the nose. In the process of helping the child to stop the nosebleed, the child should take a slightly forward position, not supine position, otherwise the blood in the nasal cavity may flow backward, causing the child to experience other uncomfortable symptoms. If the above methods are not effective in relieving your child’s nosebleed, you should go to the hospital in time.
