Hi blood is passing from nose, what needs to be done

Question

This is called epistaxis. If the bleeding comes only from the same nostril every time it is most likely to be due to a local cause in the nose- either a deviated nasal septum or some blood vessel that has become weak and bleeds readily. Avoid hot and dusty places, do not do steam inhalation, avoid steroid based nasal drops, avoid nose picking or blowing your nose very hard. Apply some vaseline every morning after a bath. If these remedies do not work, consult an ent doctor who may like to pass an endoscope to identify the bleeder in the nose and seal it with a chemical or by electro cautery.
