Prevent Recurrent Nosebleeds

  • If the air in your home is dry, use a humidifier to keep the nose from drying out.
  • Apply petroleum jelly to the center wall of the nose twice a day to promote healing.
  • For noseblowing, blow gently.
  • For nose suctioning, don't put the suction tip very far inside. Also, move it gently.
