What Causes Bleeding After Nasal Endoscopy In A Child?
My 1 year old daughter underwent nasal endoscopy and cauterization because of vascularization of the inferior turbinate. There is some inflammation and mild bleeding in the post procedure phase. What are the post procedure care we should adhere to? Also, doctor has advised using saline drops & neosporin ointment. Should we also apply Betadine solution to expedite the healing? What may be the reason for the mild bleeding? Is it possible that the scab may have been dislodged because of her rubbing the nose with her hand/against the pillow? Please advise.
