Abstract

A randomised clinical trial of antiseptic nasal carrier cream (Naseptin) and silver nitrate cautery in the treatment of epistaxis in children was carried out. Fifty-four percent responded to cautery with silver nitrate and 50% to treatment with Naseptin antiseptic carrier cream. There were 24 patients in each group. No statistically significant difference was observed between the groups when tested with the χ 2 test. We believe that the first line treatment of epistaxis in children should be the use of antiseptic nasal cream.
