Looking for a way to stop/control your nosebleeds near you?

Nosebleeds in children are frequently caused by the rupture of blood vessels in the anterior part of the nose. This occurrence is particularly prevalent among younger children. Little’s area is where blood vessels come together. It is near the surface, so it can easily bleed.

In addition to trauma or dryness, another contributing factor is mild nasal vestibulitis, a low grade infection of the nasal vestibule (the front part of the nasal cavity). Mild nasal vestibulitis can cause irritation, crusting, and tenderness, and is often triggered by frequent nose picking, viral infections, or allergies. These factors weaken the nasal lining, increasing the likelihood of nosebleeds.

Treatment options for nosebleeds

At Chequers Health, we offer phenol cauterisation to help treat frequent or persistent nosebleeds. This is a quick and effective procedure that works by sealing the small blood vessels inside the nose that cause bleeding.

During the treatment, a healthcare professional carefully applies a phenol solution (a special medical chemical) to the affected area inside the nose. This gently seals the blood vessel to stop further bleeding. The process takes just a few minutes and usually causes only mild discomfort.

After the procedure, a soothing or antibiotic cream may be applied to help the area heal and prevent infection. Most patients can return to normal activities straight away.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Comprehensive Lung Health Assessment is a series of tests designed to evaluate how well your lungs are working. It helps detect early signs of lung disease, monitor existing conditions, and assess overall respiratory health, even if you’re not currently experiencing symptoms.

A specialist lung assessment provides valuable insights into both current lung function and future health risks.
It can:

  • Detect lung conditions before symptoms appear
  • Identify tumours or nodules in the lungs
  • Detect respiratory illnesses such as infections or emphysema
  • Evaluate the impact of previous illnesses, including COVID-19, on lung performance

Early detection allows for timely and more effective treatment.

The core test is spirometry which is a simple breathing test that measures how much air you can breathe in and out, and how quickly.
It helps identify airflow obstruction and detect early signs of conditions such as asthma, COPD, or occupational lung disease.

In addition to our standard assessments, we offer a range of specialised lung function tests to provide a full understanding of your respiratory health:

Spirometry Test – Measures how much air you can breathe in and out, and how quickly, helping to detect conditions such as asthma, COPD, and other airflow limitations.

FeNO Test (Fractional Exhaled Nitric Oxide) – A simple, non-invasive test that measures inflammation in the airways. It’s particularly useful for diagnosing and managing asthma and assessing how well your treatment is working.

Bronchodilator Reversibility Test – Performed after the initial spirometry test, this assesses how your lungs respond to inhaled medication. It helps determine whether your breathing difficulties are reversible, which is key for diagnosing conditions like asthma.

There is no prior prep just wear comfortable clothing. You can eat and drink beforehand but no or vigorous exercise.

Some tests use a spirometer, a device you breathe into (through a mouthpiece) that measure the amount of air and how quickly you’re able to inhale and exhale.

You will be asked to perform multiple attempts and you will wear a nose clip to ensure you breathe through your mouth.

Processed meats such as salami/ham, high oxidant foods like lettuce, berries, turnip tops/chervil are better to avoid. Similarly, anything with high caffeine content such as tea, coffee, and Coca-Cola. These items can affect the results of your lung function tests.

If you take a bronchodilator, please continue to use them as advised by your doctor. If you regularly use bronchodilators (Relievers such as Ventolin or Salbutamol, for example) please do not use them for a few hours before your appointment.

Avoid smoking for 1 hour before testing.

Notify your doctor if you’re pregnant or if you have abdominal swelling, both affect your ability to breathe deeply.

These tests are covered by some insurance provides but please check with your insurance beforehand.

You may feel faint or light-headed due to hyperventilation, but this will resolve in 15-45 minutes.
