SQUEEZE ON IT

occur due to low humidity, allergies, colds, or injuries to the
nose. Here’s how to stop the flow

Sit up with your head titled slightly forward.
-
With your thumb and index finger, firmly squeeze the soft part of
your nose jus above the nostrils but beneath the bridge, which is
where nosebleeds usually start

usually takes at lease 2 to 3 minutes for the bleeding to stop.) if

When to see a doctor
If these tactics fail to do the trick, call your doctor or go to the
nearest emergency room. And if you have frequent nosebleeds be sure
to tell your doctor. Repeated and heavy nosebleeds can be a symptom
of a health problem, such as a blood disorder.
