How should nosebleeds occurring during coughing be treated?
Disease description:
My daughter dislikes drinking water, and with the recent hot weather, she has been experiencing frequent nosebleeds—even sometimes after coughing. I’d like to ask: How should nosebleeds triggered by coughing be treated?

Physical therapy, pharmacotherapy, etc. Nosebleeds commonly occur in dry air conditions, especially when the nasal mucosa is fragile and coughing is forceful. Patients are advised to seek medical evaluation at a hospital. Treatment options include oral medications such as Ganmao Qingre Granules, amoxicillin, and Qingfei Yihuo Pills. Additionally, applying a cold towel to the forehead and bilateral alae nasi (sides of the nose) may help achieve hemostasis.
