How Can Nose Bleeding Be Treated?
I had a nose cauterization done today. Unfortunately this evening I got bumped in the nose and it immediately started to bleed, mildly. Am I to be worried or is there anything I should be watching for. Is this something I may need to have done again due to this incident?

Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Some advices that I can give to you are :
-Sit up straight, and tip your head slightly forward.
-Use your thumb and forefinger to firmly pinch the soft part of your nose shut.
-Apply an ice pack to your nose and cheeks.
-Keep pinching for a full 10 minutes.
-Check to see if your nose is still bleeding after 10 minutes.
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help.
Kindly regards, Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
