Most nosebleeds are minor and can be stopped at home.
Sit up and lean slightly forward, then pinch the soft part of the nose firmly for 10 to 15 minutes without letting go.
Pin Tip
Do not tilt the head back. That can cause blood to run down the throat.
When to Get Help
Seek medical care if bleeding does not stop after 20 minutes, follows a head injury or happens often.
