How can i prevent epistaxis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Epistaxis: Depends on what is causing it. Most of the time is bening and spontaneous. For example dry air (winter) , allergies, sneezing. Vaseline in nostril will prevent dryness. If in doubt, see doctor for evaluation, medication review, labs or referral if needed.
