    Recurrent Epistaxis in Children
    May 21 2025
    Episode three of four on Paediatric ENT. Doctors Lisa and Sara are back with Paediatric Ear Nose and Throat Consultant Dr Simone Schaefer for this episode on Recurrent Epistaxis in Children. We discuss important differentials, including a rare condition that can present in predominantly teenage boys not to be missed, before moving on to discuss options for management and why the vast majority of these patients can often be safely managed in the community. We discuss cases that would be useful to be seen by the ENT team. Short and sweet, full of useful resources. You can use these podcasts as part of your CPD - we don’t do certificates but they still count :)
