I also have allergic rhinitis and use nasal drops. My ENT doctor described this condition using a four-letter word!\n\nYou can use saline drops instead of regular nasal drops.\nSaline drops are available at any pharmacy, and they are basically just distilled water and salt. \nIn fact, you can make it yourself at home: boil 1 cup water for 5 minutes, add a tablespoon salt, cool it off, and put it in a clean container. Use it the same way you'd use nasal drops.\n\nAnother thing, you should rub Vaselline inside your nostrils every day, to keep them moist and prevent cracking, bleeding, and itching.

Apply an ice pack to the back of your neck.  You can also apply direct pressure to your nose.  To prevent a bloody nose, you should sleep with a vaporiser, or humidifier in your bedroom, to keep the inside of your nose from getting too dry.

I work for an eye surgeon, Frozen peas in a zip lock bag works great if your eye is swollen also sleeping with your head elevated helps with swelling if you have any. As far as the bruising warm compresses help restrict the blood vessels here are a few things our office tells our post-op patients to try...I have had a lot of luck with theses compresses.\n\nRice in a Sock\nFill a clean, all-cotton sock with raw rice.\nMicrowave to desired temperature. if the sock is not 100% cotton it may melt/burn at low temps!\n\nRolled Facecloth\nPlace a  dampened facecloth in the microwave, but make sure the facecloth is tightly rolled up it helps keep the heat. The warmth of the facecloth last only about 3 to 5 minutes, I suggest this if you are in a hurry!\nDo not use the heat compresses more than 20 Minutes at a time.

Um, the first answer is completely wrong.\n\nTo stop the nosebleeds when they happen, pinch the top of the nose, DO NOT lean the head back, hold a cool rag or better yet a piece of ice under the bottom lip.\n\nGo see your doctor to keep it from happening all the time.

does it happen mostly in the winter? after blowing your nose? do you sleep in a "dry-air" room?\n\nhere are some solutions:\n\n(drink a lot. it will hydrate your skin.)\n\nthe skin may be dry and/or cracked:\nput some Vaseline on a Q-tip (cotton swab) and gently apply it to the inside wall of your nose. (on the bone side)\n\nyou may have a bulging blood vessel - and/or chronic dry skin in your nose:\nyou can also go to an ENT (ear nose throat doctor) and have them cauterize the affected area - a virtually painless procedure where the doctor will "burn" the area, thus making a scar. hence, you will not bleed out of a scar.\n\nvisit your doctor. he/she may ask you if you are seeing blood in your stool, which would be an indication of thinning blood. (probably not your case, but you may want to ask the doctor)\n\nin any case... good luck! feel better!

I get sinus infections alot w/ my allergies. I suffer from Post Nasal drip, the best thing i found to relieve it is Sine-Off, it works the best and is the only medicine known to say it relieve post nasal drip right on the label. \n\nYou can find it at family dollar and other stores. i have provided a link to make it easier to locate for you. \n\nalso you can use vapo-rub from vicks. either put some on your neck and chest or fill a sink with steamy hot water and put a heaping tablespoon in the water to melt and hold your head above the water to inhale the vapors with a towel tented over you to keep in the heat and vapors. that also helps alot. I use the generic version its the same thing and alot cheaper. works just as great.

The best way to control bleeding is by applying direct pressure to the wound.You may also want to make sure that you have had a tetnus booster shot within the past 7 years.If not,then I would suggest you get one asap in order to fight any germs you may have came in contact with from the object in which you were cut with.

Keep your sinus clean and hydrated.\n\nThere are many nasal 'douching' techniques and gadgets out there. (I find that a small bowl with warm water and sea salt work the best.)  Mostly all that does is rinse things out and moisturizes the membranes.\n\nSounds odd but it sure works!

I work as a pharmacy tech and I haven't heard of lipitor causing nose bleeds.  Do you take a blood thinner as well eg: warfarin or even a daily low dose aspirin or regular aspirin?  These can cause bleeding.\n\nHave you been checked by a doctor?  Nose bleeds are a sign of lukemia.  Are you tired all the time?\n\nOr is the air too dry?  That is another cause of nose bleeds.\n\nDon't worry yourself to death, but have a check up, it's probably not serious but it never hurts to check it out.\n\nGood Luck

Nose bleeds are often the result of common events, usually trauma, but nose bleeds can be a warning of other problems. Nose bleeds are caused by a small blood vessel rupturing. There are two main types of nose bleed, upper and lower septum nose bleeds\n\nMost nose bleeds occur within the lower end of the nose in the lower septum. The septum is the semi-rigid wall separating the two channels of the nose that contain blood vessels. These blood vessels lie close to the surface, making them susceptible to injury.The most common cause of nose bleeds is trauma. A blow, smack, or sometimes just picking the nose. Dryness inside of the nose can also cause bleeding. High altitudes, colds, allergies and medications are all responsible for nose bleeds.\n\nUpper septum nose bleeds are much more rare. Bleeding begins high within the nose and blood flows down the back of the mouth and throat even when the person is sitting up or standing. These nose bleeds can be very serious and do require urgent medical attention.Causes of upper septum nose bleeds:High blood pressure.Disease of the arteries such as atherosclerosis.Side effects of medications and drugs such as aspirin, cocaine. Bleeding disorders (are you on anything that could be thinning your blood????).Nasal tumors, cancerous and non-cancerous.Serious trauma such as a displaced broken nose from car crashes, falls etc. Leukemia,Osler-Weber-Rendu syndrome, a hereditary disease where a growth like a birth mark is located in the nose.Infection,Nose bleeds can occur for no apparent reason.

Well you can unblock your nose by using saline drops. All that is normal salt water. It can be bought  but you can make it yourself by boiling salt,but let it cool first of course! Decongestants causes high blood pressure so salt water is the safe alternative.
