What are the causes and treatments for nosebleeds in boys?

In life, nosebleeds are a very common phenomenon, and some people have nosebleeds due to a lack of vitamin C. Therefore, for the symptoms of nosebleeds that often occur in boys, we need to actively find out the corresponding causes to prevent them when we are on guard against nosebleeds. So, what are the causes and treatments for nosebleeds in boys?

Nosebleed is a very common symptom. This is because there is a septum between the nostrils on both sides of the nasal cavity, where several pairs of blood vessels meet. In particular, there is a small area called the nasal vestibule in the front and lower part of the nasal septum. The small blood vessels in the nasal vestibule are densely packed into a network, and are only protected by a very delicate mucous membrane. Therefore, the small blood vessels are easy to rupture and bleed. When the amount of bleeding is small, the blood drips out in dots, and when it is heavy, the blood spurts out in columns.

There are several common factors that trigger nosebleeds:

1. Dry climate. The nasal mucosa likes moisture and dislikes dryness. Whether it is in the cool autumn season or in the cold summer months, as long as the indoor and outdoor climate is dry, nose bleeding is likely to occur.

2. Fever. When you have a fever, your heart rate speeds up, your blood flows faster, your small blood vessels dilate, and when you have a fever, you drink less water and sweat more. When you have a dry mouth, it is easy to cause nose bleeding.

3. Trauma. Picking your nose with your hands can damage the nasal mucosa and cause blood vessels to rupture. Other nasal traumas include falls, bumps, foreign objects in the nasal cavity, or coughing, sneezing, blowing your nose hard, etc., which can damage the nasal mucosa and cause nose bleeding. Therefore, nose bleeding should be prevented by targeting the triggering factors.

What should I do if I have a nosebleed?

1. First calm down, then use your thumb and index finger to pinch both sides of the nose towards the nasal septum and apply pressure to stop the bleeding.

2. Tilt your head forward, face downward and open your mouth to breathe, or lie down and raise your head. Never raise your head, as this will cause you to swallow the blood. If you spit out too much, it will be mistaken for vomiting blood.

3. Soak a towel in cold water and apply it to the base of the nose to make the blood vessels contract and stop the bleeding.

4. Use sterile cotton, gauze or sanitary paper to block the bleeding area and compress the ruptured blood vessels to stop the bleeding. If the bleeding still does not stop after blocking, or blood comes out of the mouth through the pharynx, you should go to the hospital's nasal emergency department immediately and do not neglect it.

In addition, it should be pointed out that frequent nose bleeding may be a local problem of the nose, or it may be a manifestation of a certain disease. Therefore, if you have frequent nose bleeding, you should go to the hospital for further examination to avoid delaying the disease.
