Nosebleed
A nosebleed is sudden bleeding
from one or both nostrils, and may result
from a variety of events: a punch in the
nose, breathing dry air, allergies, or for
no apparent reason. To stop the flow of
blood from a common nosebleed, use these
steps:
1.
Sit or stand
upright to slow the flow of blood in the
veins of the nose. Do not tip your head
back.
2. Pinch your
nose with your thumb and forefinger for 10
minutes without relieving pressure. Breathe
through your mouth during this time.
3. If the
bleeding continues despite these efforts,
consult your doctor or call Hatzoloh.
