What Is The Best Medicine To Control Nose Bleed?
Is there a product that can be purchased over the counter that will stop nose bleeds. My husband is on blood thinner and it bleeds quite awhile before it finally stops. We applied ice this morning and that seemed to help, but it keeps dripping off and on. There was a product I used to buy at Walgreens that helped a lot but I can t seem to find that anymore. It was called Blood Stop and was cylinder like that was put into the nose and then it dissolved itself and definitely stopped the bleeding. Now all we can find is those tiny little gauze pieces that do very little.
