Nose cauterization with silver nitrate

Posted by Acts2:38 @acts238, Jul 5, 2016

Can anyone relay their experience following nose cauterization with silver nitrate? Is a bloody discharge normal 2 weeks after the procedure?

Hi @acts238, this is a great question and I'm glad you reached out about it! While I cannot provide a diagnosis, I did find some information about symptoms you may experience after cauterization and when to call your doctor: http://bit.ly/29kHMC8

As it notes in the article, it's extremely important to attend your follow-up appointments to make sure your treatment goes smoothly. Do you have a follow-up scheduled with your doctor? I also wanted to note that @upnorthnancy asked a good question about HHT and I'm curious to hear your feedback!
