What to do when your nose is bleeding?

 

1. Sit down and tilt your head forward: Sit upright, tilt your head forward so that blood does not flow into the throat. Tilting the head back can cause blood to flow into the throat, which may cause nausea or vomiting.

2. Pinch the nostrils: Gently pinch the nostrils with your fingers (using your thumb and index finger). Hold for 5–10 minutes, breathe through your mouth.

3. Use a cold compress: If you wish, you can apply a cold compress or ice pack to the bridge of the nose. This can help constrict the blood vessels and stop the bleeding faster.

4. Avoid actions that may provoke new bleeding: After the bleeding stops, avoid blowing your nose, lifting heavy objects, or vigorous activity for at least a few hours.

When to see a doctor: If the bleeding lasts longer than 20 minutes, occurs frequently, or happens after an injury, it is important to consult a doctor.

In brief:

  • Sit upright, head forward.
  • Pinch the nostrils and hold for 5-10 minutes.
  • Use a cold compress if needed.
  • Avoid actions that could cause bleeding again.
