Such bleeding begins when burst small blood vessels in the nasal cavity. From inside the nasal cavity is very delicate, blood vessels close to the surface, so damage them quite easily.

Causes

Children nosebleeds happen fairly often, and are usually the result of fights with their peers or very active play, during which the kids forget about caution. This bleeding is usually minor (even if there are stains on the clothing of blood from the nose Blood from the nose - what it can tell us about? It is usually only looks scary - in fact, the blood flows in small amounts), and last no more than ten minutes at a time. Other common causes of nosebleeds in children include:

• Overly sensitive blood vessels that can burst, such as very hot or dry weather;
• Infections - most often affecting the nose, throat or sinuses;
• Colds;
• Flu;
• Allergies (eg, severe allergy to dust mites or hay fever);
• Entry of foreign bodies in the nose;
• Physical stress (such as during very intensive training);
• Certain pharmaceuticals (e.g., some anti-inflammatory agents or nasal sprays).

Types of bleeding

In identifying the causes of bleeding in a child important type. There are front and rear nosebleeds. This front nose bleeding from blood vessels is located on the bottom surface of the septum. Damage to this part of the nose is very easy and there are a lot of capillaries, so that such bleeding in children - are not uncommon. Reasons front of epistaxis can be:

• The habit of picking his nose. This makes many children, and if they fingernails scratched the surface of the nasal mucosa may start bleeding;
• Strong cold. Bleeding can be caused by frequent and strong blowing your nose;
• Deviated septum, which is both innate and acquired as a result of trauma;
• Sinusitis;
• Cold and flu;

• Abuse decongestants.

In addition, the child can go to a nosebleed while traveling at high altitudes. Sometimes this happens with adults, but in children this reaction usually occurs at a lower altitude than adults.

Rear nosebleeds usually are more abundant and long. They may be the result of a more or less serious violations, and are more common in adults than in children. In such cases, the blood is from the rear wall of the nasal cavity. If this type of bleeding child may require medical attention. Probable cause posterior nasal hemorrhage:

What to do

To stop a nosebleed, it is necessary, first of all, to reassure the child. Small frequent frightening sight of blood, but if he was crying, bleeding can only intensify. Try to convince him that nothing bad will happen, and if it will calm down, everything will be soon. Then seat the child and ask him to lean forward slightly (not back, as so often - and wrongly - make an attempt to stop the bleeding from the nose). Use your fingers to squeeze the nostrils of children, or ask him to do it yourself, and keep it well for ten minutes. You can also press it to his nose clean gauze or a soft cloth so that it absorbed the blood.

Do not check if the bleeding has stopped, until after ten minutes - to stop the bleeding, it takes time. Ten minutes to the nose, you can apply a cold compress. If during this time the bleeding stopped, or if the child is very often bleeding from the nose, contact your doctor.
