Nose bleed on keytruda????

[lovey100]

I had 2 rounds of keytruda so far and due every three 3 weeks till ? Anyways I’ve noticed I’m stuffed up and blow mucus out of my nose like a common cold but for the first time this morning there was blood on my tissue? Scared the hell out of me so I’m yelling what is this and I’m doing 4 rounds of chemo for a reoccurrence on round 3 this month, I’m think they added keytruda to my rounds and now a lil blood.. is this normal and not her side effects

If it’s a tiny bit of blood it’s not an issue. If you start to cough blood up by the spoonfuls you should contact your doctor.

With the heat going in your home the lining of your nasal passages will dry out. The very tiny blood vessels that serve them will often break and bleed a tiny bit. This happens to many people. Try putting a cool mist humidifier in the areas you are in most. If you don’t have a humidifier you can put pans of water near the heat ducts.

As long as it's not a lot of blood, it is most likely from the air in your home being dry. I have a humidifier that runs in my living room, and I use a saline nasal spray at least once a day.

I had a fan going in my bedroom and when I turned it off it helped. Not sure what your situation is. Good luck. I am on Keytruda only right now.

No worries as everyone said as long as it’s not a lot it’s most likely from dry air. Use saline spray, a cool mist vaporizer helps! Good luck
