Dr. Guo Huijie
When a child experiences bleeding after using Hou Jian Spray for oral ulcers, parents should immediately stop using the medication, remain calm, and seek medical attention as soon as possible to determine the exact cause of the bleeding. The bleeding may be caused by various factors such as adverse drug reactions, oral mucosal damage, gingivitis or periodontitis, or angina. After seeking medical care, the doctor will provide appropriate treatment recommendations based on the child's specific condition, which may include switching medications, local hemostatic measures, or anti-inflammatory treatment.
While waiting for medical care, parents can take certain emergency measures, such as applying pressure to stop the bleeding using sterile cotton balls, avoiding spicy or irritating foods, and maintaining good oral hygiene. At the same time, parents should pay attention to the child's emotional state and help prevent excessive tension or anxiety.
