Nose cautery can help prevent nosebleeds. The doctor uses a chemical swab or an electric current to cauterize the inside of the nose. This seals the blood vessels and builds scar tissue to help prevent more bleeding.
For this procedure, the doctor numbed the inside of your child's nose. After the procedure, your child may feel itching and pain in the nose for 3 to 5 days. Over-the-counter pain medicines can help with pain. Your child may want to touch, scratch, or pick at the inside of the nose. Watch your child carefully so you can stop your child from doing these things. They may cause more nosebleeds.
