Understanding Nosebleeds: Causes, Types & Effective Management
Nosebleeds, a common occurrence, usually stem from injured blood vessels in the nasal mucosa. They're typically harmless, but medical attention is advised if they persist for over 20 minutes or happen regularly. Certain types, like those mainly occurring in the back market part of the nose, require prompt care.
In children, frequent sore throat bleeding can have various causes, including nutritional deficiencies like iron and vitamin C deficiency, frequent infections, nasal or throat trauma, and sometimes underlying bleeding disorders or environmental irritants. Inadequate intake of fruit and vegetables can lead to mineral deficiencies, increasing the risk of mucosal fragility and bleeding.
To manage a nosebleed, avoid tilting the head back as it can cause blood to enter the stomach and induce vomiting. After the bleeding stops, prevent rebleeding by avoiding picking, blowing the nose forcefully, or sneezing too hard. Using a cold pack on the neck or pinching the nostrils can effectively stop a nosebleed.
