Question 1

can you please name a drug that can prevent nosebleed after cauterization? cauterization was done more than one time but nosebleed starts over time.

None: There is no medication that can prevent nosebleeds. Keeping your nasal mucosa hydrated with humidified air can help, and sometimes applying a thin layer of petroleum ointment to the inside of the nose can prevent the mucosa from drying out and bleeding.

Question 2

i've had three nose bleeds today and one yesterday! nosebleeds are not normal for me.  i know it's not drugs because i don't do them. :)?

Need evaluation : Usually nose bleeds are from trauma to thin superficial nasal vessels that tear with nose picking. However bleeding several times with trauma needs examination.

Question 3

how can i stop a nosebleed?

Accepted Answer

In most cases: The bleeding for most patients are from the front of the septum. Lean forward (so you won't swallow your own blood) and pinch the nostril with your isilateral thumb on the side that is bleeding for 10-15 minutes will usually stop the bleeding. Decongestant spray like afrin (oxymetazoline) can also help. If the bleeding continue and is severe, you'll need to go the emergency room for treatment.
