Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Nasal mucosa injury can cause nosebleeds, which generally require packing or electrocoagulation for hemostasis. With the above treatments, nasal bleeding can be stopped. In some patients with mild bleeding, the cause may be related to picking nasal crusts. Packing may not be necessary; instead, they can apply erythromycin ointment locally inside the nasal cavity. However, if the patient is allergic to erythromycin, this treatment should be avoided.
