my six year old got his nasal vessels cauterised

So my six year old son has been having frequent nosebleeds since he was about four years old. They usually happened during night time and were not that sever. though a couple of months ago he slept through a nosebleed and the pillow looked like a murder scene, that really freaked me out. And since that time he's had other severe nosebleeds, so today i finally took him to ENT and they ended up cauterise his nasal vessels. Does anyone have any tips on how i should care for him. He was in so much pain just after the procedure but after some pain relief pills he now seems to be in good spirits. But i am still worried on the do's and dont's of what should be done after the procedure. The doctor pretty much gave me the ABCs but i would appreciate hearing from other people their own experience.

Aw poor thing! I had mine done, I must have been about 8 so can’t really help with the aftercare, but just to let you know, it did really help! I was having nosebleeds all the time, one that prompted the cauterising was about 4 hours long 😄 rarely get them now, only in the heat! So it did make a great difference.

Follow the doctors instructions first before randos on the internet. Few of us have taken 8+ years of medical education.
