I had closed rhinoplasty 11 days ago. Since having the splint removed 5 days ago my nose has been bleeding every day in small amounts. When I woke up today my nose was bleeding heavily, fresh running blood & clots, it was also dripping into my throat. I went straight to the hospital to see nurse & wait for surgeon to arrive. Bleed continued for 5 HOURS, heavy flow with clots. I now have a pack up my nose and given Tranexamic Acid to stop bleeding. I can feel it is still bleeding.
