Nosebleeds are common in Montana’s dry climate and can stem from dryness, allergies, infections, nose picking, high blood pressure, or clotting issues. Most can be prevented and treated at home with hot saline rinses, oxymetazoline, and firm pressure. If bleeding persists, seek emergency care or call our office.
