Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Last week, I had a sneeze and held it in. Later that day, I noticed some brown-colored blood coming out of my nose, and when I got into bed, my nose was dripping blood. I cleaned my nose, and it seemed to stop that night. Now, it has been a while, and I still experience a bit of bleeding when I am brushing my teeth in the morning. Should I see a doctor? Please suggest.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I am very sorry to hear about your medical condition. Please do not worry; I am here to take care of you. Regarding your symptoms, it appears that you may have developed a nasal injury due to holding in a sneeze. I recommend continuing to use a nasal pack mixed with 0.1% Adrenaline solution. Additionally, please take the following medications:

  1. Tablet Metronidazole 400mg by mouth three times a day.
  2. Capsule Co-Amoxiclav (Amoxicillin and Clavulanic acid) 625mg by mouth twice daily.
  3. Tablet Vitamin K 4mg by mouth as needed.

Consult your specialist doctor, discuss with him or her, and take the medicines with their consent. If your symptoms persist, please schedule another appointment for follow-up via chat, phone, or video consultation.

Thank you for using iCliniq, and have a nice day.

Same symptoms don't mean you have the same problem. Consult a doctor now!
