What Causes Nose Bleed And Passage Of A Long String From The Nose?
recently had a nose bleed (not that common for me) but i noticed what I thought was a bit of snot slightly protruding so started pulling it out. It turned out to be about 3-4 inches long, fairly uniform worm like. Didn't really hurt and stopped bleeding shortly after this, but that doesn't seem normal to me! Can some one explain what it might have been? I'm mid 20's and healthy in general.
In Rhinitis like nose mucosa infection condition crust and slough can lead nose bleed... For Rhinitis decongestant like antihistaminic drug prescribed... For nose bleed pinch nose with thumb and index finger to stop bleeding If bleeding severe than nasal packing needed
As per your history if worm expelled from nose than maggots like Parasitic infection should be ruled out... For maggot If present chloroform water nasal irrigation or liquid paraffin use to kill them...
Maintain nasal hygiene
Hence consult otorhinolaryngologist for rhinoscopy nose examination and further work up accordingly to decide management plan
Take care
