Dr Ronald Chin’s Take Of Epistaxis
Epistaxis is the bleeding from the nose. These are very common medical conditions that infrequently require medical attention. The causes of this are usually facial trauma, digital trauma, foreign body, mucosal dryness, neoplasia, and rhinitis.
Endoscopic examinations, anterior rhinoscopy, FBC, and coagulation tests are done to investigate this disorder.
To treat this oxymetazoline is sprayed in the nasal cavity. The patient needs to pinch the alae against the nasal septum. Trivial bleeds get treated with chemical or thermal cautery or pressure. Antibiotic ointments and antibiotic-constricting agents are also used.
