my son has frequent nosebleeds since a head injury four years back what to do
hello it is not uncommon for children this age to get nosebleeds along with the elderly the children usually grow out of it by age 15 or so it is likely that he might have a deviated septum from the trauma that might need to be addressed in the distant future for now I would use nobleed it is a cream that you apply with the tip of the finger do not use tips to apply this will only stir up bleeding to the inside of the nasal septum and then pinch it back by pinching the nostrils this gently squeezes the cream back do this twice a day month then once a day month then once a week the frequency of the nosebleeds should slowly go down to none if tis persists despite this treatment then see an ent for cautery one tube should do the trick and it is cheaper than the estrogen cream that can also work in this situation also make sure his fingernails are trimmed very close over the next 4 month
