Family practice: You should let your dr know what is goin on. But there are a few things you could try until you are seen. Dryness can cause it. So use neosporin on a q tip and gently rub the inside of both nostrils. Repeat this several times during the day. Afrin (oxymetazoline) spray could be used for a few days. This helps to constrict blood vessels.
