Nose Bleeds

Most nosebleeds are mere nuisances; but some are quite frightening, and a few are even life threatening. Physicians classify nosebleeds into two different types.

  • Anterior Nosebleed: The nosebleed that comes from the front part of the nose and begins with a flow of blood out one or the other nostril if the patient is sitting up or standing
  • Posterior Nosebleed: The nosebleed that comes from deep in the nose and flows down the back of the mouth and throat even if the patient is sitting up or standing.


To Stop An Anterior Nosebleed

If you or your child has an anterior nosebleed, you may be able to care for it yourself using the following steps:

  • Pinch all the soft parts of the nose together between your thumb and two fingers.
  • Press firmly toward the face-compressing the pinched parts of the nose against the bones of the face.
  • Hold it for 5 minutes (timed by a clock).
  • Keep head higher than the level of the heart-sit up or lie with head elevated.
  • Apply ice (crushed in a plastic bag or washcloth) to nose and cheeks.

To Prevent Re-bleeding After Bleeding Has Stopped
Do not pick or blow nose (sniffing is all right).

  • Do not strain pr bend down to lift anything heavy.
    Keep head higher than the level of the heart.

If Re-bleeding Occurs

  • Clear nose of all blood clots by sniffing in forcefully.
    Spray nose four times on both sides with decongestant spray (such as Afrin,® Duration,® Neo-Synephrine,® etc.)
  • Pinch and press nose into face again, as in steps 1-3 above.
