The bad habit of dry weather in early spring needs to be changed

2025-03-11   

Ms. Zhang, who is 36 years old, has been experiencing inexplicable bleeding in her right nasal cavity after waking up in recent days, and the amount of bleeding is quite large. She tried to stop the bleeding by filling and compressing it with cotton balls on her own. The reporter learned from the Eastern Theater Command Air Force Hospital that in recent days, more than 10 patients with nosebleeds have been treated in the ENT outpatient department. Experts remind that early spring is a season of frequent nosebleeds due to dry weather. In addition to strengthening moisturizing, it is also necessary to avoid improper nose digging and forcefully blowing the nose. I've been feeling very dry in my nasal cavity lately, and I occasionally pick my nose with my hand. But these past few days, I've been bleeding profusely when I wake up, and I need to use a cotton ball to stop the bleeding for a long time Ms. Zhang stated. Dr. Li Zheng from the ENT department who received the patient found that Ms. Zhang's nasal septum was slightly deviated, the nasal vestibule mucosa was eroded and congested, and the nasal mucosa was pale and swollen, which is a typical case of allergic rhinitis caused by repeated rubbing of the nasal cavity leading to nosebleeds. After that, they were given nasal sprays and drugs to protect the nasal mucosa, and told the patients not to rub and dig the nasal cavity at ordinary times. It is reported that early spring has a dry climate and variable temperatures, making it a season with frequent nosebleeds. Citizens usually need to choose different methods of hemostasis based on the situation of nosebleeds: 1. Pressing to stop bleeding: When the nasal mucosa ruptures due to trauma, it is easy to cause nosebleeds. It is recommended to use a towel or tissue to press both sides of the nose for 5-10 minutes to control the amount of bleeding and achieve hemostasis. 2. Ice compress to stop bleeding: Patients with nasal bleeding can also slow down blood circulation through ice compress, which helps to stop bleeding in the nose. 3. Nasal stuffing: It is generally not recommended to self stuff. In cases of heavy bleeding that is difficult to stop, clean materials such as cotton pads, non-woven fabrics, or clean handkerchiefs that are not prone to residual debris can be used to stuff the nasal cavity (keep the head forward, do not tilt the head back). 4. Medication treatment: This symptom may also be caused by rhinitis, often accompanied by discomfort such as dry nose and itching. It is recommended that patients drink plenty of water and take relevant medications under the guidance of a doctor for treatment. (New Society)
