Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Children who frequently experience nosebleeds can be treated with cold compresses, nasal packing, and similar methods. If a baby often picks their nose, it may be due to external irritation, so it's important to avoid frequent nose picking. If the bleeding is caused by inflammation or infection within the nasal cavity, anti-inflammatory and anti-infective medications may be taken orally under a doctor's guidance, followed by rinsing the nasal passages with saline solution to keep the nasal cavity clean and prevent further bleeding.
