Beef refers to the meat obtained from cattle and is one of the most common types of meat. However, some people say that eating beef can easily cause nosebleeds. So, what should one pay attention to in daily life?
Firstly, it is mainly considered to be caused by "heatiness" (a concept in Traditional Chinese Medicine). You can take medication to clear the "heatiness". Secondly, drink plenty of water daily, and your diet should be light, avoiding irritating foods. You can also consider dietary therapy for clearing "heatiness", such as eating a pear with sugar, consuming both the juice and the flesh. Alternatively, you can peel a fresh pear, cut it in half and remove the core, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar, and steam it in a steamer until soft before eating.
Secondly, there are many causes for nosebleeds, and further examination is needed to determine if it is due to a deviated nasal septum, atrophic rhinitis, dry rhinitis, or a foreign body in the nasal cavity. Additionally, it is necessary to check for blood diseases, such as abnormalities in the quantity or quality of platelets, or abnormalities in the coagulation mechanism. For treatment, the first step is to locate the bleeding point. Apply 50% silver nitrate or trichloroacetic acid to use its protein coagulation effect to seal the ruptured small blood vessels. Electrocautery, laser, or cryotherapy can also be used. Furthermore, nasal endoscopic electrocautery can be performed. For severe cases, anterior nasal packing is the primary measure for treating severe epistaxis. If nasal packing still fails to stop the bleeding effectively, vascular ligation should be performed.
Finally, you can get some paraffin oil or peppermint oil from the hospital to apply to your nasal cavity. You can also ask a doctor to check and cauterize the blood vessels inside your nose to prevent frequent bleeding. You should also get a complete blood count (CBC) to check for diseases of the blood system and see an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist to check for conditions like a deviated nasal septum. Normally, you should drink more water, eat more vegetables, and avoid picking your nose.
Precautions
Cultivate good living habits and break the bad habits of picking your nose or blowing your nose forcefully. If your nasal cavity feels dry, you can apply paraffin oil or erythromycin ointment to keep it moist. Maintain emotional stability and a cheerful mood, avoid irritability and anger, and prevent nasal injuries. Prevent catching colds, combine work and rest, and enhance your physical fitness.
