How do you stop a bloody nose?

Answer 1

• Step 1
  Begin by determining which nostril is bleeding. Roll up a small wad of issue and insert into the damaged nostril.
• Step 2
  It should be snug so that no additional blood comes out, but not painfully snug. This is to prevent a larger mess but it does not actually stop the bleeding.
• Step 3
  After the nostril is secure, take your index finger and thumb on one hand (doesn't matter which) and pinch the bridge of your nose.
• Step 4
  Make sure to pinch the firm part of your nose where the cartilage is. For best results pinch the middle of the nose (not too high on the bridge of the nose or too close to the face), applying moderate pressure.
• Step 5
  Place your fingers at the base of the cartilage, just before the nostrils begin to form. By squeezing the cartilage as opposed to your nostrils, you are stopping the blood flow higher up in the blood vessels and thus making it less likely that your nose will begin bleeding again.
• Step 6
  Hold your pinched nose for approx. 120 seconds. You may need to change the tissue once during this time. It minimizes the dried blood inside your nostril and makes determining when the blood flow has stopped easier.
• Step 7
  Once you are finished, wash your hands and face and continue doing whatever you were prior to the bloody nose. More importantly, do so without fear of additional bloody noses!

Answer 2

An ENT specialist my husband just saw for a bad bloody nose told us how they stop one in a more comfortable way than packing it. They use a small piece of rolled up bacon as a pack. They don't know why it works, but it does. This is a large city well respected physician. They keep bacon in their freezer at the office.

Answer 5

You can pinch your nose and tilt your head back. Also, I discovered a miracle nasal gel. It is a saline gel. The brand name is Ayr, and you can get it in any grocery store. Just put in on when the nosebleed starts, and it will immediatly stop. ----

Answer 6

First try getting a napkin and getting it wet and stick it under your top lip and press also squeeze your nose right before your hard bone(can't remember what it's called :D) Stick Salene drops in ur nose to before bed and in the morning too! It helps belive me! You can also have it caturized. It doesn't hurt it just stings afterwards! Hope that helped!

Answer 7

Hold your nose, and tilt you head backwards. Count to about 30 and it should be done bleeding,

^you'd send blood back up to your brain, that's stupid.

What you actually do is the pinch your nostrils tight, preferably with a tissue, sit down on a chair and put your head between your knees and wait. Preferably breathing through your mouth so that you don't suffocate yourself. :)

Answer 8

There is no way to make it stop unless you want to tilt the blood back into your body
