Question 1

i have random nose bleed on right nostril, any advice?

Accepted Answer

Need to see an ENT: You most likely have an area in the front of your nose that is inflamed and irritated. There are large superficial blood vessels in the front of the nose that are easily injured by blowing and cleaning. Seeing an ENT doctor is important as he/she can look in your nose and see if there is a vessel that can be easily cauterized. For now avoid putting anything in your nose including saline.

Question 2

right side of head pain and nose bleed from right nostril 37 weeks pregnant 2nd time has happened at night should i worry, still head hurts but no blood.

Accepted Answer

Could be serious: It could be secondary to high blood pressure.  You should see your internist for blood pressure monitoring.

Rarely it could be secondary to an aneurysm but that is uncommon.  See your internist.

Question 3

i have constant nose bleeds from my right nostril, but at the moment its not bleeding but if i blow my nose there is blood.

Accepted Answer

Nose bleed: Do not blow your nose for ten days. No picking. No aspirin or Motrin. No alcohol or smoking. Apply bactroban or vaseline gently with q-tip to bleeder site 2-3 times a day

Question 4

what can be the cause of repeated nose bleed when blowing nose in one nostril for few months?

Accepted Answer

It could be: the sinuses,repetitive trauma from blowing nose too hard, or a growth...I suggest you see ENT Dr. about this.

Question 5

i just had a 20 minute nose bleed, both nostrils, an i keep coughing, it's finished but when i lie down i feel like chokin, what do i do?

Accepted Answer

Rinse throat: You may have some blood clots in the back of your nose. Try to rinse it out with water or saline.

Another possibility is that you are still bleeding but that it is going back rather than forward in its egress out.

Question 6

i painted my room its not well ventilated because im on ground floor flat and i got a sudden nose bleed from the left nostril, is it the fumes?

Accepted Answer

Could be: due to irritation from the fumes with possible picking or blowing the nose causing rupture of tiny vessels in the nostrils. Ice and pressure may stop the bleeding. If bleeding continues emergency room evaluation will be helpful

Question 7

hi, i'm concerned about bleeding, for the past week, possibly longer i keep having blood in my nostrils. not a nose bleed, but theres blood  up there.

Accepted Answer

Blood in nostrils: Do you have a cold or allergies? They cause swelling of the nasal tissue and breakdown which can lead to bleeding . Would place some vasoline inside the tip of the nose at night and in AM to mositurize, nose. Check platelets , and clotting  ( PTt/PTT/INR), avoid use of ASA, NSAIDS as that may increase  bleeding  as can cocaine, fish oil ginger ginko, Vit E. F/U with doc/urgent care

Question 8

i have bad sinuses and bleeding out of one nostril. what is this:(

nose bleed?

Accepted Answer

Nose bleeds: Nose bleeds can occur with sinusitis but usually there are other symptoms of mucus drainage, associated nasal congestion or sinus discomfort. Commonly excessive nasal membrane dryness or excessive nasal membrane congestion/inflammation(colds,allergies) are causes of unilateral nose bleeds.To prevent membrane dryness apply a tinge of white Vaseline to the nasal passages nightly. Don't smoke!

Question 9

nose bleed for the first time left nostril headache on the left side, little dizziness. what shall i do?

Accepted Answer

Nose bleed : Put a lot of ointment in the nose that bled. Usually nose bleeds will stop when you humidify the nose. Irrigate the nose with saline 50 cc each nostril 5 times a day. Use ocean nasal spray throughout the day.   I would not worry about the dizziness. This probably occurred because you were scared about the nose bleed and hyperventilated. Good luck. Feel better!

Question 10

will sailine rinses help get dry painful crusty boogers out of nostrils? the rinse seem to help but make the nose bleed more. do ointments help?

Accepted Answer

Nasal Irrigations: Nasal saline irrigations are excellent for chronic sinus symptoms. Antibiotic ointment available over the counter is useful for irritation within the nose. Increase the humidity within the home can help with dryness, if not possible, inhale steam. Absolutely avoid placing anything into the nose other than ointment just at the base. Do not shove tissue into the nose.
