Children often have nosebleed may be caused by rhinitis

Bo you asked: my child is 6 years old, basically every month will flow a nosebleed, went to the hospital to check, the doctor did not find out what the problem is, excuse me, what is the matter? Also need to do what inspection?

Li Ying, chief physician of Otolaryngology Department of the First Affiliated Hospital of Henan University of traditional Chinese medicine: because you do not describe the symptoms of the child specifically enough, I don't know whether the child has other symptoms besides epistaxis, so you can't make an accurate conclusion. If the child does not appear nasal congestion, headache, nasal septum deviation and other symptoms, it can be ruled out structural rhinitis. If it is only nosebleed, then the possibility of allergic rhinitis is greater.

Allergic rhinitis patients are generally very dry in the nostrils, but also appear nasal mucosal edema, especially in children, often dig the nostrils with hands, it is easy to have symptoms of epistaxis. However, some children with allergic rhinitis and family genetic history has a certain relationship, so it is recommended that you go to the hospital ENT department to check an allergen, if there is no problem, it is best to do a nasal endoscopy, clear the cause before treatment.
