A patient is a 25-year-old male who presents with a several hours'–long nosebleed. He stated he was in usual state of good health when his nose started bleeding after he blew it particularly hard. He denies any injury to his nose. He has no history of liver disease or hypertension. Patient is on no medication, either prescription or over-the-counter.

 The bleeding did not stop even after applying pressure to the right nares, pressing it against the septum for 10 minutes. A nasal speculum was used to examine the internal nares, and the source of the bleeding—a small vein—was noted. The vein was chemically cauterized with a stick of silver nitrate. The patient tolerated the procedure well. He was observed for another hour and when the bleeding did not start again, he was instructed to not blow his nose for at least 48 hours and to contact his PCP for follow-up.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
