Epitaxy: what to do?

Epitaxy is a hemorrhage that originates within the nasal passages. Blood may leak through the nostrils or transit posteriorly into the pharynx. If the hemorrhage is posterior or if the situation calls for it, tamponade with Foley’ s balloon catheter can be practiced by introducing it into the nostril and inflating it until tensile resistance is felt.

If the cause of bleeding is not known, a sinus X-ray is needed 2 weeks after tampon removal.
