Nose Cauterized Due To Bad Nosebleeds But Dryness And Stuffiness Continues With Allergies
I had my nose cauterized this past Thursday by an ENT due to 4 bad nosebleeds. She did the chemical one, she had to do it 2xs in the same visit. I was wondering how do I use Vaseline up in my nose? How do I put it in my nose without going to far. The cauterize spot is in my left nostril near the eye area. I'm scared to do anything because I can't have another bleed due to the blood loss. I'm using the saline like every hour or so and I'm still having dry n stuffy issues. I also have allergies but I mainly want the dryness to go away. Any suggestions?

Thanks for your querry.
It will take atleast a week to subside the crusting in nose due to cauterization.
You need to just take vaseline or liquid paraffine nasal drops 5 -6 times a day.
Avoid forceful sneezing. Avoid hot water or steam bath.
Take heamocoagulants like tab. pause whenever it bleeds.
Many thanks
bye take care.
