Do
  • Pinch the bleeding nostril closed.
  • Stay calm. Getting excited can cause an increase in blood pressure, which can just make the problem worse. Take deep breaths and try to relax.
Do not
  • Tilt your head back. This can cause blood to run down the back of your throat.
  • Lie down. Same as above.

What are the different types of nose bleeds and how can they be differentiated from each other?

There are two main types of nosebleeds: anterior and posterior. Anterior nosebleeds occur in the front part of the nose and are more common. They usually result from dry air or minor trauma. Posterior nosebleeds occur in the back part of the nose and are less common but more serious. They can be caused by high blood pressure or a blood clotting disorder. To differentiate between the two, anterior nosebleeds typically involve bleeding from one nostril and are easier to stop, while posterior nosebleeds may involve bleeding from both nostrils and require medical attention.
