23 days agoNosebleeds and dryness can be a challenging side effect during treatment. Many people in the community have found success with gentle nasal moisturizers, using a humidifier at night, or applying a small amount of petroleum jelly inside the nostrils - though it's always best to check with your care team about what options might work best for your specific situation.

20 days agoI am using Ayr brand nasal aloe gel for inside the nose to help with the nosebleed issue along with saline. I find the aloe gel works well to moisturize my nose

13 days agoI had this with my taxol treatments. I used saline, aquaphor right in the inside of my nasal passages, and a humidifier in my room. It helped some. A month out of treatment I’m still having irritated nasal passages!
