Bloody discharge from the mouth and nose and its treatment methods

We have all experienced nosebleeds. Nosebleeds are actually a manifestation of bloody secretions from the mouth and nose. Nosebleeds are not actually a bad thing. Nosebleeds can enhance the ability of our hematopoietic stem cells. So is there any good way to treat bloody secretions from the mouth and nose? Let’s take a look at it together below.

Treatment:

There are many reasons for nosebleeds, but about half of people cannot find the cause. The tiny blood vessels in the nasal mucosa are densely distributed, very sensitive and fragile, and can easily rupture and cause bleeding. Nosebleeds are common in preschool children. When a person has a nosebleed, most people are accustomed to tilting their head back with their nostrils pointing upwards, thinking that this can effectively stop the bleeding. This is actually wrong. Doing so will only prevent the blood from flowing out, but the blood will actually continue to flow - flowing inwards. The "leaning back posture" during nosebleed has the following disadvantages: 1. It will cause the blood that has already flowed out of the nasal cavity to flow backwards to the throat due to the posture and gravity, and has no real effect in stopping the bleeding. 2. The blood in the throat will be swallowed into the esophagus and gastrointestinal tract, irritating the gastrointestinal mucosa and causing discomfort or vomiting. 3. When the amount of bleeding is large, it is easy for the blood to be inhaled into the trachea and lungs, blocking the respiratory airflow and causing danger. The correct way is to keep the head upright or slightly tilted forward to allow the blood to flow out of the nostrils to avoid staying in the nasal cavity and interfering with the breathing airflow. The most common location of nosebleeds in children (about 90% or more) is on the nasal septum mucosa about one or two centimeters inside the nostril. Because it is close to the anterior nostril, the most convenient way to stop the bleeding is to use local pressure. The method is: 1. Adults should first try their best to calm their emotions and not panic, so as to comfort children who are frightened by the bleeding. 2. The head should be kept in a normal upright or slightly forward posture. 3. Use your fingers to press the front part of the nose (the soft part of the nose) on the bleeding side from the outside of the nose, similar to pinching the nose with your hands, and apply direct pressure for about five to ten minutes. Most patients can simply stop bleeding in this way. The other nostril that was not bleeding could still breathe freely. 4. If the bleeding does not stop after more than ten minutes of compression, it may mean severe bleeding or other problems. At this time, you need to go to the doctor for further treatment. 5. The purpose of "ice compress on forehead" is to hope that when the forehead skin is exposed to cold, the blood vessels in the nose will contract to stop bleeding, but the effect is not good because it is too far away from the bleeding nostrils, and the local area is too cold and will cause discomfort in the head. Therefore, the correct way is to apply ice directly to the "root of the nose" and "tip of the nose" (that is, the entire nose). Traditional Chinese medicine believes that nosebleeds are caused by the upward flow of qi and blood. The nose belongs to the orifice of the lungs. Generally speaking, any nasal disease is closely related to abnormalities in the lungs, liver and other parts of the body. When a person's Qi and blood rise, especially when the lung Qi is hot, the person will have a nosebleed. When the lung qi is overheated, blood or bleeding may occur in the fundus of the eyes. The causes of getting angry and nosebleed are the same, both are the result of the upward flow of Qi and blood, but getting angry is not the cause of nosebleed. When the nasal cavity is too dry, the capillaries inside will rupture and cause bleeding. From a clinical perspective, 90% of nosebleeds are vascular bleeding caused by blood vessel rupture. In this regard, patients do not need to be too nervous. In most cases, they can handle it themselves and stop the bleeding in time. When your nose is bleeding, you can plug your nose with a tampon and tilt your head back to stop the bleeding as soon as possible. At the same time, you can also apply a cool towel to your forehead or nose to lower the temperature of your head and nose to relieve bleeding symptoms. If there is excessive bleeding in the nasal cavity and it is difficult to stop, you should see a doctor immediately. Nosebleeds in young people are also related to fatigue, exercise, etc. Especially young people who love sports often have their noses suddenly bleed while exercising. Generally speaking, patients can stop bleeding on their own. However, if you have a sudden nosebleed without any warning, it is best to go to the hospital for a check-up to rule out lesions such as nasal tumors as soon as possible. Generally speaking, nasal bleeding due to ruptured blood vessels does not require special treatment.

The above content introduces how to treat bloody secretions from the mouth and nose. We should learn more so that we can deal with it calmly and effectively when we have nosebleeds. I hope the above content will be helpful to everyone. To maintain good health, we should start with small things and start with ourselves.
