Steps to deal with nosebleeds

Stay calm It is very important to stay calm when facing a nosebleed. Being too nervous and anxious may make the bleeding worse. Take deep breaths, relax your body, and stay calm.

Sit up or stand up straight. Don't lie down or tilt your head back, which can cause blood to flow into your throat, causing vomiting or choking. The correct way is to sit up or stand up straight to allow the blood to flow out of your nasal cavity.

Use a clean tissue or bandage to gently wipe your nose to help remove any blood that has accumulated in your nasal cavity. Be careful not to wipe too hard, as this may make the bleeding worse.

Apply ice or a cold towel gently to the bridge of the nose to help constrict blood vessels and reduce bleeding. Be careful not to apply excessive pressure to the bridge of the nose to avoid aggravating bleeding.

Avoid spicy, greasy and other irritating foods, as well as caffeinated beverages such as coffee and tea, which may aggravate nosebleeds.

Seek medical attention promptly If nose bleeding persists or is accompanied by other symptoms (such as headache, blurred vision, etc.), you should seek medical attention promptly. Especially for middle-aged and elderly people, if unexplained nose bleeding occurs, they should pay more attention and have a check-up in time to rule out possible diseases (such as hypertension, nasopharyngeal cancer, etc.).

3. Measures to prevent nosebleeds

Maintaining appropriate indoor humidity Keeping the indoor humidity between 40%-60% can reduce dust and bacteria in the air, prevent the occurrence of nasal diseases such as rhinitis and sinusitis, and thus reduce the risk of nosebleeds.
