How do I treat a nosebleed?
Nosebleeds usually look a lot worse than they are. Most of the time you can stop the flow with a few simple steps:
- Lean the head slightly forward, so blood doesn't run down the throat.
- With a tissue or washcloth, gently press the nostrils together to stop the bleeding.
- Hold the nose for at least 5 minutes. Then check to see if the bleeding has stopped. If it hasn't stopped, gently squeeze for another 10 minutes.

Call the doctor or go to an emergency room if:
- The bleeding hasn't stopped after 15 to 20 minutes or keeps starting again.
- The bleeding is fast and there's a lot of blood.
- The bleeding is from an injury to your nose or face.
- You feel faint or weak.
