Leukemia can cause nosebleeds, but nosebleeds are not necessarily leukemia. Children's nasal mucosa is rich in blood supply, and nosebleeds are not uncommon. However, this kind of bleeding is mostly unilateral epistaxis, and the bleeding usually stops automatically. The epistaxis caused by leukemia is mostly bilateral epistaxis, which is difficult to stop automatically, and may also be accompanied by bleeding signs in other parts. Therefore, it is unscientific to simply judge nosebleeds as leukemia.

What are the symptoms of leukemia? Leukemia is a malignant tumor of hematopoietic system, also known as hematological cancer. It is caused by the excessive proliferation of abnormal blood cells in hematopoietic tissue, which enter the blood stream and even infiltrate into various tissues and organs of the whole body. Early manifestations are fever, anemia and bleeding. The most common bleeding sites are skin and mucous membrane, which are often manifested as skin bleeding spots or ecchymosis, nosebleeds, gingival bleeding, blood bubbles in mouth and tongue, etc. If the child has the above symptoms, be sure to take the child to the hospital for examination.

What is the reason for the baby's nosebleed? Inflammation of the nasal cavity can lead to nosebleeds. There is inflammation in the baby's nasal cavity, such as acute and chronic rhinitis and sinusitis, which can dilate or fester the nasal mucosa blood vessels. From time to time, purulent nose is discharged. Under the stimulation of purulent nasal mucus, submucosal blood vessels will also bleed.

Frequent nose-droppings can cause nosebleeds or minor injuries caused by baby's forced nose-droppings. Improper cleaning of nasal cavity by parents may damage the mucosa of nasal septum and lead to nosebleeds.

A high fever can lead to nosebleeds. When the baby suffers from diseases such as cold, tonsillitis, pneumonia or mumps, there will be symptoms of high fever. At this time, the blood vessels in the nasal mucosa will be congested and swollen, and even the capillaries will rupture and nosebleed.

Blood diseases often have nosebleeds. Some blood diseases, such as thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, hemophilia, leukemia and so on. Nosebleed is often the earliest symptom. If the baby often has unexplained nosebleeds, parents should pay special attention and take the baby to see a doctor as soon as possible.

Foreign bodies in the nasal cavity can cause nosebleeds. Children like to stuff small things into their noses, such as peanuts, melon seeds, stones, soybeans, plastic paper, metal toys and so on. Once these objects are stuffed into the nose and become foreign bodies, the children themselves can't take them out and dare not say anything. After a long time, they are forgotten and stay in the nasal cavity. Some foreign bodies swell and mold when they meet water in the nasal cavity, causing infection, erosion and bleeding of nasal mucosa. Sometimes, under the bad stimulation of foreign bodies, nasal mucosa can also cause traumatic bleeding.

In dry weather, children's nasal mucosa is fragile. In dry weather, more blood needs to flow through the nasal cavity to improve the temperature and humidity, so it is easy to cause nasal congestion and lead to bleeding.

Vitamin deficiency nosebleeds If children have the habit of picky eaters and partial eclipse, vitamin deficiency can also lead to nosebleeds. However, many children suffer from nosebleeds because of abnormal work and rest, little sleep time and weak body.

4 how to stop the baby from nosebleeds by finger pressing? When the baby has a nosebleed, let the baby sit down first, and press the baby's nose with the thumb and forefinger tightly to the nasal septum. Generally, it can stop bleeding in 5- 10 minutes.

When stopping bleeding, be patient and comfort your baby not to cry, open your mouth and breathe, lean forward slightly, and try to spit the blood in the nasopharyngeal cavity into your mouth, so that you can know the amount of bleeding and avoid swallowing nosebleeds into your stomach, irritating your stomach and causing abdominal pain and vomiting.

Hemostatic plug method is to stick Yunnan Baiyao with sterile cotton balls, stuff it into nostrils, or stuff it with hemostatic sponge. At the same time, put a towel soaked in cold water on the large blood vessels on both sides of the bridge of the nose or neck for cold compress, so that the blood vessels contract under cold stimulation, thus achieving the purpose of hemostasis. At this time, we should pay attention to the pharynx. If there is blood flowing down the throat, it means that the nosebleed has not stopped.

Local treatment to stop bleeding If the baby has a large amount of bleeding and symptoms of hemorrhagic shock, such as pallor, sweating, rapid heart rate, poor mental condition, etc., he should take a semi-recumbent position and be sent to the hospital as soon as possible. The doctor will give corresponding treatment according to the position of the nose and the amount of bleeding. If there is repeated bleeding here, it can be treated locally by freezing, microwave and chemical drugs. A small amount of epistaxis can also be stopped by nasal drops containing 1% ephedrine.

When stopping nosebleeds in a correct posture, let the baby bow his head (be careful not to look up) and lift his upper limbs to increase the blood volume of the superior vena cava, thus reducing the blood supply to the nasal cavity and achieving the purpose of stopping bleeding.

Don't throw your head back. When looking up, the blood flowing from the front nostril will flow to the back nostril unimpeded, and then flow to the mouth through the back nostril, so that the blood is not easy to coagulate into blocks and it is difficult to stop bleeding.

Stop bleeding according to the cause. No matter what causes the nosebleed, even if the bleeding stops, you should take your baby to see a doctor to find out the reason and prevent the nosebleed from happening again.

The treatment of epistaxis should start with the cause. If it is caused by various rhinitis, rhinitis should be treated first. Trauma or nosebleeds caused by foreign bodies in the nose should be treated by removing foreign bodies; If nosebleeds are caused by whole blood diseases, such as scarlet fever, upper respiratory tract infection and blood diseases, including leukemia, hemophilia and thrombocytopenic purpura, these diseases should be treated.
