6. Two In-Office Treatments for Nosebleeds

One common treatment a doctor may perform is cauterization of the problematic blood vessel. They will use a silver nitrate stick, electric currents, or a laser. Another treatment possibility is nasal packing, which entails packing the nose with gauze, cotton, or foam treated with an antibiotic solution. Nasal packing applies additional pressure to stop the bleeding.
