π Nosebleeds in Summer: Causes, Treatment & Prevention Tips from Dubai ENT Experts
The intense summer heat in Dubai doesnβt just affect your skin β it can also lead to frequent nosebleeds (also known as epistaxis). At our top-rated ENT clinic in Dubai, we see a noticeable increase in nosebleed cases during the hotter months.
In this article, we will explain why nosebleeds are more common in summer, how to treat them, and β most importantly β how to prevent them.
βοΈ Why Do Nosebleeds Happen More in the Summer?
Dubaiβs summer climate is hot, dry, and dusty β the perfect storm for nasal irritation.
π₯ Top Reasons for Summer Nosebleeds:
- Dry nasal passages due to air conditioning and desert heat
- Dehydration, which dries out the mucous membranes
- Dust and sand in the air causing irritation
- Allergies that trigger sneezing and nose-blowing
- Sun exposure increasing blood flow to the face and nose
Even healthy individuals may suffer sudden nosebleeds simply due to environmental factors.
π₯ Whoβs Most at Risk?
- Children (especially those who pick their noses)
- Elderly people with fragile blood vessels
- People with allergies or sinus issues
- Those taking blood-thinning medications
- Workers exposed to outdoor heat, dust, or construction zones
π‘ How to Treat a Nosebleed at Home
Follow these steps to safely stop a nosebleed:
- Sit upright and remain calm π
- Lean forward slightly (donβt tilt your head back!)
- Pinch your nose just above the nostrils for 10β15 minutes π
- Breathe through your mouth and stay still
- Apply a cold compress or ice pack to the bridge of your nose π§
β If the bleeding lasts longer than 20 minutes or happens frequently, see an ENT doctor immediately.
