The Sonoran desert has some fantastic plants and animals that have adapted to the harsh environment of Tucson. Unfortunately, your nose is No Saugaro Cactus 🤥👃🌵.Saline and ointment or gel are important ways of preventing a bloody nose.
One way to prevent a nosebleed is to keep nasal passages moisturized, either through using a humidifier or nasal saline spray. Learn more & support #KidsENT Health Month.

Mask up.Take your shot.
Today’s paper in Dallas. I’m also back to doing tracheostomies on COVID+ children as we see increases in severe infections among the unvaccinated. If you haven’t been vaccinated, sign up today. Be safe.

Great fact👇. RT if you've awake trach'd someone with Ludwig's Strangulation.
Useless but satisfying to know fact: it’s called Ludwig’s “Angina” bc angina is Greek for “strangling”. Also makes sense why we call some acute coronary syndromes angina as well.
