I spoke w. our pediatrician about those products and was told they're not safe to use w. young children (I was asking about less than 6 y/o. Not sure if it would be different w. an older kid).
I agree: have the child pinch the nares and hold for ten mins (I'm tough! Not 5!). Those who use ice: are you putting it on the back of the neck or where? Thansk!

Just doing a little last minute ordering and spying the extensive orificenal of nosebleed dressings and rhino rockets in the School Health catalogue. Anyone using any of these packings or quick clot type things? I basically stick to pressure, vaseline, and ice packs - but maybe someone can open my eyes to some of these other interventions. I also wonder if I would need an order to use these type of things.
