Care Advice for Nosebleed

1. Sit up and lean forward, to keep the blood from running down the back of your throat.
2. Apply Pressure: Gently squeeze the lower soft parts of the nose against the center wall for 15 minutes. (Goal: apply continuous pressure to the bleeding point.) Use your thumb and your index finger in a pinching manner. If the bleeding continues, move your point of pressure and repeat again for another 15 minutes.
