Go to an ENT doctor and get your nostrils cauterized

My mom's doc told her to use k-y jelly and it really works good for her.

I was bleeding heavily from the nose due to warfarin, even had to call an ambulance on one occasion. After putting up with it for six months, I complained to my GP last week who suggested a cream containing Phenylephrine Hydrochloride and chlorhexadine. It's sold in Australia as Nasalate. It can only be used for seven days but it cleared my problem almost immediately.

It can only be used for treatment in the lower part of the nose (vestibule) known as Little's area. Bleeding from the posterior blood vessels just before the nasopharynx requires an ENT surgeon.

I use Ayre gel and used to use their spray gel but can't find it any more. Try increasing the humidity in the room.You should be able to find special mixtures for nasal irrigation that will help moisturize a lot.

You might wanna crank that puppy right up to 10 and see if that helps.

On my own Respironics CPAP, I set my humidifier to 5 of 5...and it still seems kind of dry to me.

Ty, I will try these and save cauterization as last.....moneys kinda tight....Again Thank you for your suggestions...
