FAQ
Sit the person up straight and drop their head slightly forward. Apply finger and thumb pressure on the soft part of nostrils below the bridge of the nose for at least 10 minutes. Encourage the person to breathe through their mouth while their nostrils are pinched. Loosen tight clothing around the neck.
Don't stuff tissues or another material into the nose to stop the bleeding. Firmly pinch the soft part of your child's nose—using a cold compress if you have one, otherwise your fingers—and keep the pressure on for a full 10 minutes.
Squeeze the nostrils closed for 5 to 10 minutes. Don't stop pinching to check if bleeding has stopped. Run a cool mist humidifier in your child's room at night, if the air in your home is dry. Teach your child not to pick their nose or blow it too hard.
Key Recommendations. Individuals with a nosebleed who require prompt management should receive treatment for active bleeding with firm sustained compression to the lower third of the nose, with or without the assistance of the patient or caregiver, for 5 minutes or longer.
Pinch the nose. Pinching puts pressure on the blood vessels and helps stop the blood flow. If the bleeding doesn't stop, pinch the nose again for up to 15 minutes. Don't let go for at least five minutes even to check if the bleeding has stopped. Seek emergency care if the bleeding doesn't stop after the second try.
Individuals with a nosebleed who require prompt management should receive treatment for active bleeding with firm sustained compression to the lower third of the nose, with or without the assistance of the patient or caregiver, for 5 minutes or longer.
First aid management for nosebleeds Sit the person up straight and drop their head slightly forward. Apply finger and thumb pressure on the soft part of nostrils below the bridge of the nose for at least 10 minutes. Encourage the person to breathe through their mouth while their nostrils are pinched.
Tilt the child's head slightly forward. Do not ask the child to lean back. This may cause blood to flow down the back of the throat, which tastes bad and may cause gagging, coughing or vomiting. Gently pinch the soft part of the child's nose, just below the bony ridge, with a tissue or clean washcloth.
Stopping a bleeding nose Stay calm and reassure the child that they are safe. Ask the child to sit upright in a chair or on the caregivers' lap. Tilt the child's head slightly forward. Do not ask the child to lean back.
Treatment Sit up and lean forward. Keep the head up. Gently blow your nose. This will clear any blood clots. Pinch the nose. Use the thumb and a finger to pinch both nostrils shut. Prevent another nosebleed. Don't pick or blow the nose. If you have another nosebleed, try first-aid steps again.
