Looking up during a nosebleed is not an effective method to stop it and can actually make things worse by increasing blood flow to the head. The recommended approach is to pinch the nostrils together and lean slightly forward to prevent blood from flowing down the throat. Applying a cold compress to the nose and using a saline nasal spray can also help. If a nosebleed persists for more than 20 minutes or occurs frequently, it's advisable to seek medical attention.
