My Son Has Aplastic Anemia And He Has Severe Nosebleeds, How Do I Stop The Bleeding?

hi, get him toi sit down on the sofa, and tilt his head forward to let the blood drain, if you tilt the head back it has no where to go… nip the middle of the bridge of the nose while tilting forwad… once the blood stops and begins to clot.. make sure he does not pick at his nose or blow his nose for a least an hour after it stops, because this may remove the clot and cause it to bleed again… hope this helps
also, the more lubericated (not dry) the nose it the better.. a little bit of vasilene will do the trick

What Is The Treatment For Aplastic Anemia?

Prompt treatment of the underlying cause and removal of any bone marrow suppressants are essential to recovery of the bone marrow. Blood transfusion may be necessary if stem cell levels are very low. Bone marrow transplants may be helpful in younger patients but the success relies on the accuracy of the tissue match using human leukocyte antigen (HLA). This process is complicated with chemotherapy and radiation needed to prepare the recipient’s bone marrow for the transplantation.

Can One Find A Cure For Aplastic Anemia Without Necessarily Going For A Bone Marrow Transplant?

The reason aplastic anemia is such a serious thing is because it has no cure except bone marrow transplants. Bone marrow transplants don’t always cure aplastic anemia, but it’s probably better to try it if you’re able than to not try.
There are different degrees of severity of aplastic anemia though. The milder kind may not need a transplant, and might only need supportive care and close monitoring. The standard treatment for the more severe kind is a bone marrow transplant with immunosuppressive therapy (used to try to keep the immune system from killing itself, and after a transplant it’s used to keep the immune system from rejecting the transplanted tissue).
