Brief Answer: Nasal prick bleeding Detailed Answer: Hi Mam, I have gone through your query. It suggests that your husband may be suffering from the nasal prick bleeding because these irritant food cause itching in the nose. For this he may take---> 1. Liquid Paraffin nasal drop 5 times a day. 2. Avoid nasal pricking, forced nasal douche and forced nasal movements. But to reach the near diagnosis and better management, your husband may go for---> 1. Nasal examination and Nasal endoscopy. 2. CT scan PNS and nasopharynx . 3. Bleeding and clotting profile- BT, CT, PT and platelet count. If you have any doubt, I will be available for your query.
