Whats the best way to deal with a nosebleed?
If a nosebleed occurs when you are lying down, immediately sit up or stand up. This will reduce the amount of blood flowing to the nose and make it less likely that blood will drip down the back of the throat. Firmly pinch together both sides of the soft part of your nose with your thumb and fingers and maintain a steady pressure for at least 10 minutes. A period of 20 minutes is often necessary. If your nosebleed doesn’t stop in 20 minutes, go to the nearest emergency room for treatment by a physician. After the bleeding has stopped, avoid forceful nose-blowing for several days to keep from disrupting the clot that has formed.
