Effective Treatment For Nosebleed
I have severe nosebleeds. I am on coumadin therapy. I have had cauterization and electic cauterization several times. They subside for months and then reoccur. They are so bad that I am choking from the blood. I have been using Neosynephrin, Ocean, Ayre, Ruby Red drops, Muprocin. Do you know of any treatments other than the above that have been affective for other patients?
