Watch this video on how to stop nosebleed
Just like any bleeding injury, you only need direct pressure by pinching the soft part of the nose just below the cartilage using your thumb and forefinger. This will put enough pressure on those fragile capillaries to control the bleeding. These tiny capillaries clot very easily, but you must maintain a constant pressure for 5-10 minutes.
An ice pack on top of the nose and cheek can also help control bleeding, swelling, and pain if there has been any trauma to the nose.
What you should NOT do.
DO NOT LIE DOWN. This can cause blood to be swallowed which lead to choking, nausea, and vomiting.
DO NOT PICK OR BLOW YOUR NOSE.
DO NOT TAKE ASPIRIN. This could only cause more bleeding because aspirin is a blood thinner.
So again, pinch the nose, lean forward, and breath through your mouth. Hold the pressure for 5-10 minutes.
After 10 minutes, release the pressure and see what happens. If it’s still bleeding, repeat the process.
If it’s still bleeding after repeating the process 2 times, this is the time to call your doctor or seek for medical help.
