There are many options for treating nasal septum bleeds. We'll be discussing surgical options and non-surgical treatments, as well as side effects. We'll also be discussing whether to use antihistamines. A home treatment can be a great option if you want to avoid more invasive procedures. If you are unsure about which treatment to choose, consult a doctor.
Non-surgical treatments
It's possible that you have noticed a hole or void in your nasal septum. Some people experience no symptoms. Others may have bleeding and scabbing. These symptoms may indicate that non-surgical treatments are the best options for you. The following are common treatment options in nasal septum peforation.
Options for Surgical Treatment
There are other options available for treating this condition, including surgical options for nasal septum piercings. These procedures are not ideal as they can cause infection or bleeding. Another surgery may be required if the perforation reopens. Talk to your doctor if you are interested in a home treatment. These are the pros & cons of each surgical option.
Side effects of surgery
When there is a nasal septum perforation, a person may experience various symptoms. Nasal bleeding is one of the most common, but if the hole is large, it can also cause significant blood loss and crusting of the mucous membrane. Chronic infections may also develop. Perforated septums may cause bleeding and crusting. This can make it difficult to breathe normally.
Antihistamines
Antihistamines are not recommended for nasal septum perforation. Antihistamines may not only prevent inflammation and irritation, but they can also have side effects. Symptoms of antihistamine use include sore throat, dryness of the nose, and even a whistling sound.
Steroid sprays
There are two types of treatment available for nasal septum piercing: either surgical treatment or topical creams. Both are meant to address the symptoms and the longer-term effects of perforation. Before starting any treatment, discuss your options and consult your doctor. Nasal ointments can be useful in keeping the septum moist. They may contain harmful ingredients.
