Dealing With Nosebleeds

Sit down, lean forward and pinch the soft part of your nose together. Do this for 5-10 minutes or until bleeding stops.

Relax and breath through your mouth while doing this.

Placing a folded piece of wet paper towel under your upper lip may also help stop the bleeding.

Do not lean backwards and pinch to stop the bleeding.

Consult a physician if the bleeding ceases to stop.
