Treatments Your Provider May Prescribe
The physician may pack the nose with gauze or an inflatable latex balloon to properly put pressure on the blood vessel(s) to stop the bleeding.

If you have frequent nosebleeds, your physician may need to burn (cauterize) the blood vessel(s) with electric current, silver nitrate, or a laser on the inside of the nose that are causing the problem.
