Suggest Treatment For Nasal Bleeding

my husband nose is bleeding and I looked on your website and it said to lean forward and pinch his nose together for 5 minutes, well when we did that it started bleeding more. What's our next step? Oh yeah he did not hit or injury it, this is the second time in a week.....

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain nasal bleeding can occur due to causes like Traumatic injury, vigorous sniffing, nose picking habit causing trauma to small blood vessels, nasal irritation due to repeated cold and sinus infection, while other medical conditions like high blood pressure and blood thinning medicines can also cause nasal bleeding..
In case if the bleeding has not ceased you need to consult an Otolaryngologist and get evaluatd and he can do a clinical examination and nasal endoscopy if needed along with blood tests to rule out the exact cause of bleeding..
In case if there s any ruptured vessel that is bleeding electrocautary can be done to cease bleeding..
Nasal packs can be given for 2 to 3 days to cease bleeding..
Avoid excess sniffing or picking the nose..
Lean forwards while the nose is bleeding to prevent aspiration of blood in wind pipe and also swallowing can cause vomiting..
Pinching nostril for ten minutes can cease bleeding..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
