My nose is bleeding.Avoiding doc n dont know what 2 do.plz help me..

What is the initial first aid treatment for a nosebleed? Initial first aid for a bleeding nose is simple: - apply pressure to stop bleeding(to the front soft part of the nose,not the bony top) - apply cold pack - avoid restarting bleeding Apply pressure by pinching the nose with the first two fingers and thumb, pressing gently back towards the face. Continue this pressure for 5 minutes(continuously), timed by a clock if necessary. If possible, have the sufferer stand, or sit and lean forward, to stop blood flowing back down the throat. Aim to have the head above the level of the heart. If blood continues to flow down the throat it may indicate a posterior nosebleed and medical help should be sought. To prevent the nose from bleeding again soon after stopping: do not pick or blow the nose (gentle sniffing is possible); do not strain or bend down or lift anything heavy; and keep the head higher than the heart. If bleeding recurs soon after, clear the nose of all blood clots by sniffing inwards strongly; spray the nose with a decongestant spray (such as Afrin, Duration or Neo-Synephrin); and try applying pressure again as described above. Seek medical advice if bleeding is not stemmed, or nose bleeds are recurrent. What are the treatment methods? For recurrent nosebleeds, antibiotic ointment may be applied to the inside of the nose to reduce crusting. If the sufferer is taking Aspirin, it may be ceased for a couple of weeks until nosebleeds settle down. This needs to be discussed with the patient's doctor. In some cases the blood vessels causing problems may be cauterised (sealed by burning) using silver nitrate, under a local anaesthetic. This procedure can be done by a general practitioner or ear, nose and throat specialist and does not usually cause significant discomfort. If there is no obvious blood vessel in the front of the nose, the bleeding is probably from the back of the nose and is best dealt with by an ear, nose and throat specialist.
