I am a certified doctor RBH at this is what we are told by medical legislation 43.56\nHold the side of your nose that is bleeding- with pressure from your fingers and apply a cold compress. Don't tilt your head too much the nose is connected to your air pipes and lungs, etc, and the blood will pool down that way. If the nose does not stop bleeding in 15 mins, seek medical attention. \n\nBe gentle with it for a while after it does stop, don't blow it too hard, etc. Don't take aspirin for the pain, or ibuprofen, they thin your blood. Tylenol will be ok.

When your nose bleeds, remain seated and put pressure on the bleeding nostril for at least four minutes. (Don't lie down: The blood will run into your stomach, which could cause nausea or even vomiting.\n\nConsult your healthcare practitioner if you frequently have heavy nosebleeds, or if the above measures don't stop the bleeding.\n\nCan I do anything to avoid them? \n\n•Avoid nasal dryness, especially in wintertime or in dry climates, by running a humidifier inside your house and coating the edges of your nose with petroleum jelly.  \n•Blow your nose gently. Aggressive blowing can lead to nosebleeds. \n•Drink extra fluids to help keep all your tissues, including the mucous membranes, well hydrated.

My 17 year old son had the same thing , I took him to a specialist .\n\nIt's caused by blood vessels that are enlarged in the nose and too close to the surface of the skin.\nJust toching, light rubbing, sneezing, caused nose bleeds.\nhe would get 1 - 4 nosebleeds a day, and that scared me.\n\nHe was given two options.\n1. Put some vasaline inside the nostril that bleeds and it won't happen as often.\n2. Have the blood vessels cauterized which is done with a chemical ( silver nitrate ) and a Q-tip and takes about 30 seconds.\nThe chemical is rubbed inside the nostril and the blood vessels are "Burned "and sealed .\n\nHe has never had another nose bleed since he had the cauterization done.\n\nIm not sure of the cost because he's on a medical program but whatever the cost would have been we would have paid it.\n\nJust in case your reasons or medical situation might be different you should see a doctor.

You need to use a saline solution nasal spray to keep your nose from drying out. You can get one at any drug store.\nYou might also try sleeping with a humidifier to keep the air in your room moist.\n\nIf that doesn't help, see your doctor and have your blood pressure checked.

If the air is dry or cold, then when you inhale, the moisture gets taken from your lungs into the air (since hot air can hold more moisture - when the air heats in your lungs it needs moisture and takes it).  When you breathe a lot more, like when you exercise, the lungs dry out more than normal.  This drying of the lungs is normally felt as a painful burn, and it's why when people run in cold weather they normally try to breathe through their noses.  The passage through the sinuses is longer, and gives the air more time to heat up and absorb moisture on the way down to the lungs instead of in the lungs themselves.  Try to pay attention and always breathe in through your nose while exercising.  See if this helps.  If it does, and you work out at home, then you could try to get a humidifier.

it's nothing to worry about, really. A lot of children get nose bleeds, . There's just this cartilage in the nose that's thinner for some children, get's bruised easily and causes the bleeding. You just have to make the child sit or lie down, keep an icecube wrapped in cloth or a cold, wet peice of cloth on his nostril and keep him stll for a few seconds, probably also try pinching the upper tip of his nose, [below the center of the eyebrows] for a few seconds. a nose bleed is also absolutely painless.

When I was in grade school, I used to get nosebleeds frequently. Some of them were real gushers and they could be triggered very easily (a sneeze, blowing my nose, sometimes just spontaneously).\n\nThis went on for years until my family doctor suggested I buy some Vaseline and then apply a little to the membrane inside my nose a couple of times a day. This simple solution solved the problem!\n\nThe membranes in your nose can be very thin. They can also dry out, particularly in dry or cold environments. When it cracks, you get a nosebleed. Even when it stops, if it doesn't get sufficient time to regenerate, you're bound to get another nosebleed. And so the cycle continues. A little Vaseline can break the cycle.\n\nNow vote for Best Answer and go put your finger up your nose! ;)\n\nBest Regards,\nRob

Are you having a winter climate where you live?  If the heat is running and you are not adding humidity into the air, your nasal passages become very dried out.  Try a humidifier and some saline  spray like Ocean.\n\nIf it continues you should see a doctor - could be a polyp or something.

I had this problem associated with a sore throat and nose bleed. Turned out the air in my room was to dry, so I put a humidifier on at night, drink plenty of water before I go to bed and keep a glass of water on my night stand. If it dosen't clear up in a week or two you may want to see a doctor.

It sounds like Impetigo-a bacterial skin infection from the irritation of the runny nose.  Put some neosporin on it 2 or 3 times a day.  Don't pick at it.  Wash your hands after blowing your nose.  If it does not get better-you will need an antibiotic.

Usual reason for kid's nosebleeds are irritation and dry air. Milk is not a reason for this. Iron supplementation doesn't affect the teeth but you need to be careful treating things without knowing a cause.

I'm no Doctor, so take this with a grain of salt, but the same thing happened to me on two flights.  During the descent the pressure in the sinuses changes, and if the sinuses are full it can cause a really painful experience.  My solution to this was to take a decongestant pill such as "Contac" about an hour before the flight.  That dries up the sinuses and prevents the congestion during flights.  Good luck.

im thinking its because your sinues are dried out, and when blowing your nose, the small blood vessels in the area break. i wouldnt worry unless it doesnt stop, try not to blow your nose so much, if its neccessary to blow it, do so gently. i had to have sinus surgery after years iof having sinus infections that would not go away, i had retention cysts in the sinuses in the cheeks, if your continuing to have sinus infections this may be something you would want to discuss with your physician

Never lean your head back as this will cause blood to pool into your sinus cavity. Get some ice and wrap it in a teatowel, or even use the old frozen vege packs and wrap it in a teatowel. Move your head gently forward, get tissues and hold your nose gently near the nostrils, then put ice pack over your nose. It may take up to 15 minutes to stop bleeding entirely, if not see your GP. Don't get up and move around to much for at least an hour afterwards or go near anything hot as it will dilate your little vessels that burst in there and you'll have a nose bleed all over again. Causes may be from hitting it, picking it, heat, change of temperature, medication or change in medication, season's changing, PMT. Well hope you get better soon.
