What Is The Treatment For A Nose Bleed?

My grandson 8 had nose cauterization yesterday for very frequent (twice daily heavy nosebleeds). Today he had another nosebleed at school which the nurse said was even worse than the original ones..they last for an excess of 15 minutes and literally soak the front of his shirt.

Hi...Recurrent nose bleeding definitely requires evaluation. If I were your treating pediatrician, I would first check the kid's blood pressure and examine the nose and I would have suggested you to get a complete hemogram done and along with it PT and aPTT to check for bleeding tendency.
