Ofev for Pulmonary Fibrosis??

I used to get nosebleeds from the oxygen (I think it was the oxygen at least). My doctor recommended that I buy nose gel. It moisturizes the nostrils and stopped the bleeding. You can find it next to the other nasal sprays.

Thanks so much! We are currently investigating this possibility. We took note of this when Hubby had one of his extended sneezing fits after dinner tonight -- even without having any of the Esbriet for a couple of days. The sneezing may or may not have been irritation from the POC cannula or the oxygen itself, but at least he didn't have the usual nosebleed afterward. I reminded him to use his Ayr gel. Tomorrow, he's going to try eating dinner without the oxygen cannula. It's complicated. So many variables! I hope he can get this figured out before he speaks with his pulmonologist.
P. S.
He and I just had another little discussion about these details, and came to the conclusion that since he never had nosebleeds before he was taking the pills (sneezing or no sneezing/cannula or no cannula), it must be due to the pills.
Be well!
