The moment of a sudden nosebleed can cause fear, worry and often panic.

According to AgroWeb.org, nosebleeds are generally not indicative of a serious medical problem and can be treated at home.

It can last a few seconds or even a few minutes.

What you should do

To stop nosebleeds you should try these ways:

Keep the nostrils lightly pinched for a few minutes.

Put a cold compress or ice on the nose.

Standing, a position that reduces blood pressure in the blood vessels in the nasal area.

If the bleeding stops, you do not need to seek more specialized medical treatment.

However, there are times when you should definitely go to the doctor.

When is it time to seek medical help?

If nosebleeds occur while taking blood thinners and you suffer from blood clots, then you should see a specialist doctor.

If you suffer from anemia, irregular heartbeat or breathing difficulties then you should see a doctor.

If a child who is not yet 2 years old has a nosebleed, you should immediately take him to the pediatrician.

If the bleeding is repeated, then you should consult a doctor.

You should go to the emergency room when:

Bleeding continues for more than 20 minutes,

You have difficulty breathing,

You have swallowed a large amount of blood that is causing you confusion,

If you have had an accident and your nose bleeds.

What causes nosebleeds?

The inside of the nose is filled with very delicate blood vessels that can be damaged quite easily.

Bleeding is expected if you:

Blow your nose very forcefully

You have suffered a nose injury

The inside of the nose dries out as a result of changes in the level of humidity and temperature./ AgroWeb
