Nicole has a habit of rubbing her nose very hard when it gets blocked. I had a scare when I woke her up for class this morning to see it all bloodied. It shook her up a bit too.
Nic before I cleaned her up
We took her to Sunway Medical to let Dr Gan have a look at her. I was hoping that the doc can talk some sense into her as she would not listen to us telling her not to rub her nose so hard. It did not work as she was amusing herself swiveling on the examination chair, arrrgh!
Anyway the doc said that young kids and the elderly are prone to such nose bleeds as the capillaries burst
easily upon constant rubbing. For the record, doc said there are hundreds of capillaries in our nostril. Doc prescribed Aerius syrup and Iliadin nose drops for the next two weeks.
Oooo that's bad, I hope she's okay now. My younger boy just loves scratching his legs and leaving awful wounds.
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to talk sense into kids :D
I told her that her nose is gonna fall off if she keeps it up!
