The problem of nose bleeding is commonly seen in summer. People get scared due to sudden nose bleeding. Generally, it is also called bleeding. Do not panic about such a problem, instead try to stop the bleeding immediately. Anyone from small children to adults can suddenly suffer from nose bleeding. This condition usually occurs due to a sudden increase in temperature in summer and continuous exposure of the body to that temperature. Although nose bleeding can also occur due to some other reasons, here we will talk about its occurrence in hot weather and ways to control it.
When does this happen
Mostly this happens due to the dry, hot air of summer and excessive scratching of the nose. Apart from this, this bleeding can also occur due to any accident or shock, allergy, infection, ingestion of any chemical through the nose, excessive use of sprays used inside the nose, etc.
This is how bleeding occurs
In the lower part of our nose where blood flow is higher, 90 percent of nose bleeding occurs at this place. The special thing is that in many cases the body also alerts you before this situation of bleeding. Some warning signs appear, such as
Headache or heaviness
Feeling nervous or lightheaded
Strange feeling in the ears
Skin problems
Feeling of heaviness or weakness in the body
Dryness or itching in the nose or throat despite repeated drinking of water
Because the ear, nose, and throat are connected. In such a situation, sometimes this blood goes inside the throat and blood may come out in the phlegm along with cough. But don't panic even in this situation.
Rare causes may pose danger
Although nose bleeding is common, sometimes it can also be a sign of a serious disorder. Its name is Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia. Therefore, if there is abnormal bleeding and is not controlled by normal measures, contact a doctor immediately.
How to avoid nose bleeding
Drinking adequate amount of water can provide relief from many problems. If the heat is intense or you are going out of the house in bright sunlight, then this becomes even more important. Apart from this, use means to cover your head while going out of the house. Use light colored cotton scarf or scarf, cap, etc. Always keep a bottle of water with you and if you suddenly start bleeding from the nose outside the house, then tilt your head backward towards the sky and keep it in the same position for some time, instead of tilting it towards the ground. In this situation, pour normal temperature or cold water on the head. Lie down and keep your head like this for some time. If bleeding does not stop within a few minutes with simple measures, contact a doctor immediately.
