Patient's question:
These past two weeks, I've been constipated all the time, and I've had two nosebleeds. I had one last night, and when I woke up this morning, I had two more. What's going on? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
Constipation may be caused by stomach issues, which can also lead to repeated episodes of nasal bleeding. This requires drinking more water, eating a light diet, and avoiding spicy and irritating foods as much as possible. It can be treated by taking Huanglian Shangqing tablets to clear heat and purge fire. If the bleeding is heavy, cotton should be used to gently press and apply medication. For small, scattered nosebleeds, it may be due to eroded nasal mucosa. In such cases, Gentamicin ointment can be directly applied to the nasal cavity, and vitamin C supplements can be taken.
