How Can One Manage Persistent Nosebleeds?

My 86 y/0 male is having nose bleeds & almost a daily basis (his L nostril & it happens fast; when he looks down or for no reason at all (1-2 x daily for about 1 week). He just shattered his R shoulder (3 weeks ago), so he was taking Tylenol, T 3, and Advil which he stopped 4 days ago. He also stopped drinking cranberry juice (starting today). What can you suggest? He hates doctors but is willing to listen.
