Suggest Treatment For Epistaxis
Question: Hi,
I have had blood every so often come from my left nostril and did all the tests possible and they came back normal. it hasn't happened in a while until now. bleeding left nostril and I can see blood in the back of the throat. Does this have to do with it coming from the nose? because it's the same system? in the past the doctor burnt something in my left nostril. Opinion would help. Don't want to rush to the ER. Thanks

Hi
Welcome to HealthcareMagic and thanks for putting up the query
The bleeding from nose is causing blood in the back of throat. There might be a bleeding point in the nostril that was cauterised as you have said. it was done to stop bleeding. If it happens frequently you should get a CT paranasal sinuses done.
keep a check on your blood pressure and get bleeding profile done.
Any further questions are always welcome.
Take care
Thanks and regards
