Insert Gauze

• If pressure alone fails, insert a gauze wet with a few decongestant nose drops (e.g., nonprescription Afrin). (Reason: The gauze helps to apply pressure and nose drops shrink the blood vessels).
• If not available or less than one year old, use petroleum jelly applied to gauze.
• Repeat the process of gently squeezing the nose for 10 minutes.
