re: Any ENT's here? Question about nosebleeds

Make sure they cauterize with an electro cautery gun. Silver nitrate sucks and is not as effective, it's just a chemical burn in your whole nostril.

Like a previous poster said cauterizing the vessel that's doing the bleeding is effective, just make sure it's with the gun.

Also dont let them put a device called the "rapid rhino" up your nose to apply pressure after cauterizing. It's terrible.
