[QUOTE="witzend, post: 196536, member: 99"] M used to get those to the point that he had to be cauterized at the ER to get them to stop. It was caused by blood vessels that were too close to the surface, along with a dry nose. He needed to use saline spray, which was almost impossible to get him to do on a regular basis. He refused to blow his nose until he was 16! What the ER and his doctor told us was to keep some antihistamine spray like Afrin and some Q-tips on hand for nosebleeds. When he got a bleed, he should be able to tell which part of his nose it is coming from. I'm sure you already know to never tilt the head back. Anyway, spray the q-tip with Afrin until it is well soaked. Gently put the q-tip in the nose in the general area of the bleed, and kind of roll it to be sure you are getting the right spot, but don't hold it there. The Afrin will shrink the blood vessels and stop the bleeding. Repeat again in a few minutes if it only slows the bleeding. That is the $2700 answer to your problem, free of charge! ;) [/QUOTE]
