How To Heal Bleeding Nose?

My doctor prescribed Foban ointment for the inside of my nose in order to heal the skin from a bleeding nose. This was issued after the fact that the day before I had had my nose cauterized and it failed to work. After applying the foban ointment it has caused my nose to run and I may have sniffed and swallowed some of the ointment in the process. What will happen? Is this harmful? I have attempted to stop sniffing in order for the ointment to work.

Little amount is not harmful. please don't worry. How long have you applied the ointment? Do you have raised blood pressure?
