My brother has undergone angioplasty a month back. He is having frequent nose bleeding right after the angioplasty. Whenever he sneezes or coughs, blood come out of his nose and mouth. Please suggest. Thnx

You need to consult an ENT Specialist who will give you antihistamines & antileukotrienes to suppress his allergies but no attempt should be made to pack nose to top bleeds. He is on anticoagulants post-angioplasty and packing will lead to raised blood pressures and bleeding into vital organs.
