Hello Janet,
You got your nose cauterised for nasal bleeding or other reason?
As cauterisation is done inside the nose not outside for bleeding and in such cases you have to use normal saline sprays and neosporin ointment for local application in nose to make nasal skin healthy.
But if cauterisation done outside then there is no question of blocked nose and only worry will be black nose.
