What is the first aid treatment for a nosebleed?
To stop a nosebleed:
Sit down and firmly pinch the soft part of your nose, just above your nostrils, for at least 10-15 minutes
Lean forward and breathe through your mouth – this will drain blood into your nose instead of down the back of your throat, place an ice pack or bag of frozen vegetables covered by a towel on the bridge of your nose
stay upright, rather than lying down, as this reduces the blood pressure in the blood vessels of your nose and will discourage further bleeding.
