I'm really worried about my 5-year-old son's frequent nosebleeds. It's been happening for about a month now, and even though the amount of blood isn't much, sometimes it happens twice a day. We saw an ENT doctor around 15 days ago, and they said it was anterior and suggested using paraffin drops and saline. It did help a bit at first, but then the nosebleeds started becoming more frequent again over the past few days. He's currently taking Oleptal DT 150 twice a day for childhood epilepsy. Do you think we should go back for another check-up?

I'm in the research field studying chemistry and recently I've been having some issues. My nose has been really dry and I'm also experiencing dry blood, which is quite painful, especially in the mornings. Could any doctors provide advice on how to deal with this?

Humidification and hydration are key to relieving nasal dryness. Saline sprays, nasal gels, and petroleum jelly can help soothe and moisturize your nasal passages. If the problem persists or worsens, consulting a doctor, especially an ENT specialist, is recommended.
