How Long It Takes To Heal After Nasal Cauterization?
I had a nasal cauterization done 3 days ago but in those 3 days my nose bled once for like 5mins, I want to know if that s normal and how long will it take for my nose to heal inside? .. By the way, I have no pain in my nose, I just get very irritated that I can blow it.

Hello
Yes , it can bleed a few times after cauterization and generally it takes around 7-10 days for the area to heal . please do not blow your nose or wipe the scab as this will cause bleeding again. please meet your doctor if the bleeding continues or increases in amount.
