In the summer season not only the temperature rises, but it also causes sunburn and dehydration, as well as water from the nose. Due to sudden change in heat and temperature, the soft blood vessels inside the nose burst, causing sudden bleeding and irritation. Bleeding from the nose in summer is especially common in children, elderly and people with sinuses or allergies. Although bleeding from the nose in summer can be worrisome, it is not dangerous for health and some home remedies can prevent it.
Bend forward
ENT surgeon Dr. Rajiv Bhatia of ENT Clinic and Hearing Care Center says that if you are bleeding, there is nothing to worry about. In this situation, ask the patient to rest, the more he gets nervous, the more his problems will increase. Sit the patient comfortably and ask him to bend a little further so that the blood comes out of the front and not in the back. After this, ask the patient to open his mouth and breathe comfortably.
Maintain hygiene
In summer, a reason for bleeding from the nose can also be dehydration. This dries the nose and increases the risk of bleeding. Therefore, it is important to stay hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Drink at least 8 to 10 glasses of water and include hydrating fruits like watermelon and cucumber in the diet.
Protect the nose from drying
Keeping the nose layer moist helps prevent bleeding. To prevent the nose from drying, you can use salty nose spray or apply petroleum jelly or coconut oil inside the nose with the help of clean cotton.
Use indoor humidifier
Air conditioners and fans make the air inside the house very dry, which can shut down the nose. To maintain moisture in the air and prevent drying of the nose, especially at night, use humidifier in the bedroom instead of AC and fan. Drying of nose increases the chances of bleeding.
Protect the nose from heat
Excessive exposure to heat can spread the nasal blood vessels, which increases the risk of bleeding. Therefore, it is important to wear a hat or use an umbrella while going out in summer and try to stay in the shade when sunlight is high.
