Continuos nose bleeding for > 12h
Hi
My grandmother is bleeding almost continuosly from her nose since last night 1 AM and it's 4 PM now. She had high blood pressure which is under control now but the bleeding is not stopping. What should be done? I read somewhere that she would need stiches in her nose but the general physician I am admit at says it will be on and she should keep lying down in the bed. I am not sure if that is the right approach. Since its a very small town and I am concerned if my grandmother is in right hands.
