AB Anterior  epistaxis  is  more  common  than  posterior  epistaxis.Anterior  epistaxis  generally  stops  with  pressure,  but  may  require  nasal  packing.Posterior  epistaxis  requires  emergent  ear,  nose,  and  throat  consultation  and  admission.Any  patient  who  requires  nasal  packing  should  be  given  antibiotics  to  prevent  toxic  shock  syndrome  or  sinusitis.
