Is It Safe To Give Saline Gel For Nose Bleed And Dizziness In Children?

My daughter (age 14) has recently started having nose bleeds almost daily for the last week and a half to two weeks. Her pediatrician suggested Saline Gel and created a referral (at my request) to have her see an ENT.My concern is that these nose bleeds are out of the ordinary, they are heavy to the point where she is light headed afterwards and they last anywhere from 3-20 minutes. They end with a large blood clot that comes out of her nose and is always followed by a headache.....I m nervous.
