my son occassionally has bleeding nose. is this normal ?  is there a health risk in the long term?

Accepted Answer

Common: Epistaxis is common in everyone. 80% of people experience this in their lives. A common cause is dry, hot air like inside the home in the winter causing nasal dryness and crusting. The nasal tissue cracks and bleeds easily. Treatment includes humidification of the air, and nasal moisturizing with a variety of otc nasal saline gels or mist spray.  It's not a major health hazard, but should see md.

Question 9

i have a deviated septum, and want to get my nose restructured, will my insurance cover this? would this be considered cosmetic or an actual health issue

Accepted Answer

Typically, : Typically, insurance will cover treatment for deviated septum in a patient with symptoms from the deviation, most commonly airway obstruction. The coverage will probably cover only the part of surgery appropriate to resolution of the symptoms. I am not sure what is meant by getting your "nose restructured, " but any part of the procedure done for aesthetic reasons will not likely by paid for by the insurer.

Accepted Answer
