What Causes Nosebleed Which Lasts Long?
Today I had a nosebleed that lasted about 2 hours due to a artery bleed before the doctor cauterized it. I am 19, 5'3" and 115 lbs so that was a bit frightening to lose that much blood. I have an appointment to get a wax tomorrow and I was wondering whether or not I should keep that appointment.

Hi once the nasal bleed is cauterised not to worry. Ear wax can be cleaned. Don't cancel the appointment. Losing so much blood is not more. Body will compensate it and produce the lost blood. Don't worry.
