Is It Normal To Have Bleeding From Cauterized Side Of Nose?
On Monday I had my nose cautherized and packed. Since I also have a lot of congestion I kept coughing just about all night long Monday night and last night I was coughing and all of a sudden some blood started dripping from the cautherized side. It wasn't much and thank goodness, it stopped. Is this normal? I have not bothered the pack or the nose. The pack appears to be dissolving and I have been spraying my nose with saline solution. This morning a piece of the pack fell out by itself but I don't plan on disturbing that side.

Dear, it is quite normal and it happened because of coughing when some small cauterized vessel opened up and started bleeding and stopped itself. So try avoid coughing at least for 5 days by the time the cauterized vessel will heal with fibrosis and bleeding will stop. you even might get reddish liquid from nose, that's normal
