Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thank you for your contact to HCM. It seems she had minor nosebleed that has stopped,it may require no treatment at all.She formed a clot at the site of the bleeding that stopped any further bleeding.
If the bleeding repeats, a doctor may cauterize it (seal the blood vessel) with a chemical called silver nitrate. Cauterization is most effective when the bleeding is coming from the very front part of the nose.
In more complicated cases, a nasal packing may be required to stop the bleeding. The idea behind this is to put pressure from inside the nostril to halt the bleeding. Many different types of packings are available, ranging from petroleum (Vaseline) gauze to balloon packs to synthetic sponge packs that expand when moistened.
I suggest -
-don't remove clott,apply pilex or trombophob on the nose,rubber gently 2 times a day for 5 days
