Basic First Aid for Nosebleeds

   Most of us have had a bloody nose at some time in our lives. It simply means
   bleeding from the inside of the nose due to trauma. The biggest cause of a
   nosebleed is digital trauma – otherwise known as picking it.

   The first aid for nosebleed includes:

•  Lean forward, not back.

•  Pinch the nose just below the bridge. Don't pinch the nostrils closed by
   pinching lower.

•  check after five minutes to see if bleeding has stopped. If not,
   continue pinching and check after another 10 minutes.

•  You can also apply a cold pack to the bridge of the nose while pinching.
