Xiaonan wants to test everyone, when the baby leaves a nosebleed, do you let the baby quickly look up, or quickly take a tissue to plug?
The first time you encounter a baby nosebleed, many parents will panic, they will subconsciously let him look up or smoke a tissue to knead into a ball and stuff it, these 2 methods, not only can not stop the nosebleed, but also may cause more serious consequences.
So, how do we properly stop your baby's nosebleeds? Why does our baby always have nosebleeds? The 2 consecutive questions about nosebleeds are the things that this article is going to answer.
Why can't I look up and stuff tissues?
If the baby has a nosebleed, stopping the nosebleed has become an urgent and important thing.
However, the usual operation of looking up and stuffing paper towels is to help.
1. Look up.
Will make nosebleeds through the throat into the stomach, the stomach will be dumbfounded", "which door food is this", uncomfortable, the baby is prone to stomach pain, vomiting.
If nosebleeds are diverted into the trachea, there is also a risk of suffocation.
Even if there is no danger, take the (bloody) baby to the hospital, the nosebleeds are reversed, and the doctor does not know how much bleeding is there.
2. Stuff paper towels.
If the pressure is not enough or the location is not right, the more congestion there is, the more bleeding.
There is also a risk of local infection, causing your baby to bleed repeatedly.
The correct way to open the bleeding:
1. Let the baby's head lean forward, do not let the nosebleed flow backwards into the trachea.
2. Press the nasal wing with your index finger and thumb for at least 5 minutes, pay attention to pressing it all the time, rather than releasing it every once in a while to see if the bleeding stops.
3, cold towel / ice pack on the back of the neck, forehead, nose bridge and other places, but also the use of local vasoconstriction principle to accelerate the hemostasis, depending on whether you have it at home.
4. If there are conditions, nasal vasoconstrictors and cotton tablets can also be - spray the nasal vasoconstrictors on cotton tablets, and then stuff them into the bleeding place to stop the bleeding. (This article is for reference only, generally stop a few steps ahead)
PS: If you press for 5 minutes and still have blood flow and heavy bleeding, go to the hospital.
Why does our baby always have nosebleeds?
Many babies will have nosebleeds, especially 2-10 years old, and will not be relieved until puberty.
Why is it concentrated at this age group?
In front of our nasal septum 1/3 of the place, there is a capillary network area, also called The Li area, relatively shallow, just in the mucosal layer, itself is easy to be dug up and bleeding, the baby's capillary network is not yet developed, when the nasal mucosa is dry, capillary dilation, nasal inflammation or irritation, nosebleeds in minutes.
There are also diseases of the blood system, such as thrombocytopenia, coagulation function or platelet dysfunction, that is, xiaonan said earlier that the pressure for 5 minutes can not stop the bleeding, which is likely to be these problems.
In addition, there are baby hands to dig up the nose or stuff things in the nose, picky eating leads to vitamin deficiency, the climate is too dry or cold, or even the air conditioning is turned on too much, etc., may have nosebleeds.
Therefore, if you want your baby to have less nosebleeds, first of all, don't often dig your nose, if it is a nasal problem and a blood problem, diagnose it early and treat it early.
At the same time, if your baby often has nosebleeds, try not to open the air conditioner or electric blanket in winter, it is best to use a humidifier or put a basin of water, usually you can also spray physiological sea salt water, so that the nasal cavity is moist and can also protect the nasal mucosa.
By the way, the "golden oil" formula of a balanced and reasonable diet, not picky eating, and drinking more water is also suitable here.
The next time the baby has a nosebleed, mom and dad know how to do it, right? I also hope that these dry goods will be used less opportunities.
