Your baby has a nosebleed on his pillow

Why do small children often have nosebleeds? How can it be prevented? These bad habits should be helped to quit the baby.

Bao's mother Xiaoyu's family has a 2-year-old baby, and she is very healthy on weekdays, but when she got up one morning, she found that there were blood stains on the baby's face and pillow, but Bao's mother was frightened. Hurriedly woke up the baby, washed the baby's face, and took the baby to the hospital.

After examination, it was found that there was nothing wrong with the baby, just a false alarm, and as for the blood stains on the face, the doctor judged that it should be a nosebleed. As for the reason for the sudden nosebleed, it may be caused by the damage to the nasal mucosa caused by the baby's recent habit of picking the nostrils.

Why do babies get nosebleeds?

The habit of picking the nostrils.

If the baby has the habit of picking his nostrils, it is easy to cause the baby to have nosebleeds. After the nasal mucosa is healed, it will scab over and adhere to the nasal feces, and the baby will can't help but want to pick the nostrils, thus forming a vicious circle.

For the health of the baby, if parents find that the baby has such a habit, they must be corrected in time, and set a good example, do not pick the nostrils in front of the child, otherwise the baby may have the same example, at first it is fun, and then it may develop such a habit.

Cold effects. After the baby catches a cold, the resistance of the nasal mucosa decreases, nasal congestion and runny nose appear, and the baby will also want to pick the nostrils, which will also be prone to nosebleeds.

Your baby's nose is allergic.

If your baby has an itchy nose with allergies, he may not be able to help but want to pick his nostrils, which can lead to nosebleeds. In autumn and winter, the air is dry, which makes it easier for babies to have nose allergies, and this season is also a period when the probability of nosebleeds is higher.
