You can use a topical antibiotic ointment like Bactroban (mupirocin 2% ointment) or Fucidin (fusidic acid ointment) applied sparingly inside the nostril, and avoid using ear drops meant for the ear in the nose.

💊 Recommended substitutes

• Bactroban ointment (mupirocin 2%) — commonly used for skin cuts and safe for superficial nasal mucosa when advised by a doctor.
• Fucidin ointment (fusidic acid) — an alternative topical antibiotic available in India.
• If no antibiotic ointment available: use petroleum jelly (Vaseline) to keep the cut moist and reduce crusting; apply after cleaning.

🏥 How to use now

• Stop bleeding: sit upright, pinch soft part of the nose for 10–15 minutes.
• Clean gently: saline (saltwater) or clean water; pat dry.
• Apply a very thin layer of the ointment inside the cut once or twice daily for a few days as advised. Do not insert ear drops into the nostril.

⚠️ Cautions

• Do not use ear-only formulations (e.g., Neosporin H ear drops) inside the nose.
• Avoid steroids (hydrocortisone) in the nose unless prescribed specifically.
• Watch for allergic reactions (increased redness, swelling, rash).

🩺 When to see a doctor

• See an ENT (Ear, Nose, and Throat) specialist if bleeding continues >20–30 minutes, the cut is deep, there’s spreading redness, pus, fever, or if you’re unsure which medicine is safe for your daughter.

🩺 FOLLOW_UP

• Please tell me if your daughter has any allergies to neomycin, mupirocin, fusidic acid, or iodine, and whether bleeding has stopped.
