According to local media such as Matichon Online, a three-year-old girl in Chiang Mai, Thailand, visited a nearby hospital when the blood from her right nose did not stop for the last four days.
Medical staff examined her with a nasal endoscope and found a leech about 2cm long that was firmly attached to the inside of her nose.
The medical staff used inhalation equipment to remove leeches and prescribe antibiotics.
As a result of the consultation, it was found that the girl washed her face in the stream in the dong before she had a nosebleed.
The medical team says "Small creatures such as leeches and slugs can enter the body through holes such as noses, ears, genitals or urinary tract."This is often the case in rural areas where people wash themselves in untreated water, especially streams, ponds, or waterfalls." He also advised that `if leeches are in the body, they can cause serious bleeding if they are pulled out incorrectly, so you should seek help from hospital medical staff.'
Earlier in the day, a Vietnamese woman was also removed by medical staff after a 6cm long living leech was found in her nose after a recent fishing trip. She is also said to have had a nosebleed for several days.
