Показать описание
Causes for early morning bleeding can vary in children and adults. In children the most common cause is dryness of the nose causing crusting and hence children tend to fig their noose they use fingernails to clear the nose and hence this minor trauma can cause bleeding occasionally some children can bleed because of certain coagulation disorders hence any child who comes to us with repeated bleeding needs to be evaluated for coagulation disorder. In children it is usually following minor trauma, it is because of piking of nose children use their fingernails to try to remove the crust forms in the entry of the nose area what we call a little's area which can bleed as this contains a very small blood vessel which can starts bleeding because it tend to stay in the pillow where parents can see a lot of blood there and then they usually get panic this is not a dangerous situation or a situation where you need to panic any child who tends to bleed from the front of the nose or notice blood on the pillow. All we need to do is make file get up sit front with headband downwards ask the child to open the mouth pinch the nostril between your four finger and thumb for exactly 5 minutes and usually in most people the bleeding stops with this type, occasionally it doesn't and such patients we can repeat the pinching of the nose for another 5 minutes with an ice cube over the nose you can grab the handkerchief or napkin to place over the nose. This will usually stop the bleeding. Recurrent bleeding or when it happens many times, its better that we visit ENT surgeon to rule out other causes which can be causing such bleeds. But generally this is something which you don't need to be panic about.
