Dr. Shiba Kalyan Biswal

Pulmonologist•Gurgaon

Chronic respiratory diseases like bronchial asthma, bronchiectasis, copd, sarcoidosis and interstitial lung disease are vulnerable to repeated infections and multiple hospital visits or admission.

The main reasons for the increased susceptibility is altered lung defence, use of steroids in various respiratory conditions and multiple comorbidities like diabetes and coronary disease.

Patients should ideally be vaccinated for pneumococcal and influenza disease routinely.

Nose bleed may be the aftereffects of cancer treatment. Nose bleeding can be managed. 1.please apply some ice pack for relief on nose bridge
2. Sit upright rather than lying down
3.lean forward and breathe through mouth
if bleeding is severe do check for any allergies. You may also have homeo medicine for some relief.
