No, that will usually only increase the bleeding. The steps in first aid for a nose bleed are:
- Sit up and lean forward so blood doesn't get swallowed, as it can bother your stomach, but don't lean over far enough that your head is below the level of your heart because it can raise your blood pressure and make the bleeding worse. Ignore outdated advice to tilt your head back.
- Apply pressure as you do for any bleeding. Squeeze the nostrils closed by pinching them with your fingers for 5 to 10 minutes.
- Don't pick or blow your nose and don't bend over for several hours after the bleeding stops.
- If it starts bleeding again, pinch it closed again and contact your health care professional for advice.
- If the bleeding lasts for longer than 20 minutes without stopping, get medical help as you may need to have it cauterized to stop it.

Why does the nose bleed if you hit your head?
the nose should not bleed if the back (occipital region) of the head is struck. If this occurs after a blow to the rear of the head, it could indicate a more serious, internal injury may have occurred (possibly a skull fracture). If the individual lost consciousness during the event, that too is an indication that there could be more serious internal injuries. The nose usually bleeds after a direct blow, dried mucous membranes, or in some circumstances high blood pressure.

For a simple nose bleed the best first aid is to?
Most people think to stop a nose bleed you should put your head back and wait for it to stop, but you should never do this. Get a tissue, fold it 2 or 4 times into a square. Hold it so it will soak up the blood that escapes, but instead of pinching the end of your nose closed, pinch the upper boney part of your nose near the base. This will stop the flow of blood gradually. Breath through your nose and don't blow your nose for at least a day. Hope this help!

Red snot after a bleeding nose?
This is not something to worry about, it's rather obvious is it not? after a bleeding nose not all the blood from the incident has left your nose, but be careful is you blow your nose too soon and too hard it can cause another nose bleed, or just a continuation of your previous nose bleed.
