Learn2 Stop a Nosebleed
(continued)
Prevent nosebleeds,
short-term
You can do a few things right away to help
prevent the bleeding from starting again.
- Leave the nose alone. As the blood
dries, it may feel itchy or odd, but resist the
temptation to touch this area. If you disturb
the nose by picking or blowing it, you may send
yourself back to Step 1 of this 2torial.
- Don't pack it in. Stuffing the
bleeding nostril with cotton may keep the blood
from spilling, but it's not a good solution.
The cotton may be difficult to remove once the
blood has dried.
- Hang tight. Try to sit quietly for
several minutes, even if the bleeding has
stopped. Any sudden motion or exertion may
re-open the clotted blood vessel. If you can
avoid it, don't bend over to pick up anything,
either.
