What Is Epistaxis Treatment?

This specialized ENT care targets nosebleeds caused by ruptured nasal blood vessels, addressing triggers like dry air, trauma, or medical conditions. Treatments range from painless silver nitrate cauterization for children to advanced interventions like nasal packing or surgery for adults. Diagnostic tools, such as CT scans, identify deeper causes, ensuring effective, personalized solutions to stop bleeding and prevent recurrence.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

The process begins with a nasal examination, sometimes including a CT scan to pinpoint bleeding sources. After numbing the nose with anesthetic spray, treatments like silver nitrate cauterization, nasal packing, or, in rare cases, surgery are applied. Sessions typically last 15–30 minutes, tailored to stop bleeding and address causes, ensuring a comfortable, precise experience for children and adults.

What to Expect During Recovery

Post-treatment, mild nasal irritation or crusting may occur, resolving within 1–3 days. Follow aftercare, such as humidifying air or avoiding nose picking. Most patients resume activities immediately, with bleeding typically stopping instantly or within hours. For complex cases, full recovery may take a week. Regular follow-ups ensure sustained relief and address any underlying conditions.
