Remedy For Bleeding Nose in Children

By Ssaif Saifuddin

Nose bleeding, medically known as epistaxis is common in children: fortunately and not usually associated with any serious under lying problem.

Most of the time this stops on their own without any specific treatment. An obvious case of this is nasal injury, including picking the nose.

The tendency to have this increases during the winter months when the dry air irritates the inside lining of the nose. Children with large adenoids, nasal allergies and chronic sinusitis tend to have more bleeding.

This can also occur in cases of hypertension, chronic coughs, migraine, gastroesophageal reflux, and so on. In rare circumstances, frequent or excessive nose bleeds may reflect a bleeding problem such as low platelet counts or lack of certain blood-clotting factors.

Most nose bleeds stop on their own within a few minutes; compressing or clamping the nose between the thumb and index finger will help to stop bleeding. The head should be tilted forwards as tilting the head backwards will cause the blood trickle down the child throat possibly resulting in coughing or choking. You should teach your son not to pick his nose. During the winter months, make sure that the humidity in the house is adequate.

Another approach is to apply a drop of sesame oil at night. By Keeping the inside lining of the nose moist,this treatment can also help prevent nose bleeds.

Ayurveda considers epistaxis as a Pitta disease. Usira, the main ingredient of usirasava is one of the best refrigerant herbs that cool and calms the body, with its influence on the circulatory, digestive respiratory and urinary systems.

He may use usirasava if suggested by an Ayurveda doctor.
