Children commonly
experience nose bleeds. This occurs for all sorts of reasons but generally
children have thinner nasal linings that can break
For children, it is because
their nasal lining is thinner and they may have an underlying nasal allergy
that:
·
makes them sneeze
·
makes them rub their nose
·
blocks the nose so there is more turbulence
and drying
One, or all of the above,
causes the fine blood vessels of the Little’s area to rupture and bleed.
Treating nose bleeds in
children is relatively simple. If the cause is nasal allergy, that should be
adequately treated. Thereafter persisting nose bleeds would require a more
comprehensive examination to exclude less commoner causes. Sometimes a
troublesome engorged vessel/s may require sealing.
