Nasal bleeding, also known as nosebleeds, is a common medical condition that can go on in flares. This happens when the nasal cavity is sore or dry. Damage to the small blood vessels in the nasal cavity causes bleeding. Most nosebleeds originate in the blood vessels of the nasal septum - the inner middle tissue that separates the nasal cavities. Nosebleeds occur frequently in patients with nasal allergies, sinusitis, high blood pressure, or blood disorders. If you know the cause and treatment of a nosebleed, you will have more experience to cure this disease.

Steps

Method 1 of 3: Get First Aid while Bleeding a Nose

1. 

   Adjust your body posture. If your condition is not of a concern, you can do first aid at home to stop the bleeding from your nose. To start, sit down slowly as this will help you relax rather than stand up. Tilt your head slightly forward so that the blood in your nose will automatically dry out.
   • You can put a towel under your nose to absorb the blood.
   • Do not lie down on your stomach as this will cause the blood to go down the throat area and make you swallow it.

2. 

   
   
   Squeeze your nose. Use your index finger and thumb to grip the lower part of your nose so that the nostrils are completely blocked. This first aid will apply direct force to the area where the blood vessels are damaged. This is considered to be an effective method to help the blood vessels in the nose to clot and stop bleeding. Squeeze your nose for 10 minutes and then release.
   • If the bleeding continues, keep pressing your nose tightly for the next 10 minutes.
   • When giving first aid with this method, actively breathe through your mouth.

3. 

   
   
   Cool and cool the body. Lowering your body temperature will help reduce blood flow to your nose. To do this, you should keep a few ice cubes in your mouth. This will help your body lower the temperature more quickly than it would cool the outside of the nose. Furthermore, the body will maintain this temperature for longer.
   • This method is considered to be more effective than a cold compress on the bridge of the nose. According to a recent health study, the cold compresses on the nose are not really delivering the results you expect.
   • You can suck on a popsicle stick to see the same result.

4. 

   
   
   Use a decongestant spray. If you have a nosebleed but not often and you don't have high blood pressure problems, try a decongestant spray. This medication will constrict the blood vessels in the nasal cavity. To use this medication, you should prepare a clean cotton ball or gauze bandage, then put about 1-2 drops of the spray on it. Insert a cotton ball into the nostrils, keep squeezing the nose, and after 10 minutes, check to see if the nose still has nosebleeds.
   • If the bleeding has stopped, you still need to leave the cotton swab or gauze in place for an hour because you may still get a nosebleed.
   • Regular use of nasal sprays (every 3 to 4 days) can cause addiction and stuffy nose.
   • Therefore, this spray should only be used while the nosebleeds are still flowing even if you've been squeezing your nose for the first 10 minutes or so.

5. 

   Clean your nose and rest. Once your nosebleeds have stopped, rinse the area around your nose with warm water. After you cleanse your face, take a break. This will help prevent further nosebleeds.
   • You should lie on your stomach when you relax.

Method 2 of 3: Prevent nosebleeds in the long term

1.

Avoid picking your nose as this can damage the sensitive blood vessels inside the nose. In addition, nose picking disrupts the blood clot that is covering the damaged blood vessels and causes more nosebleeds. When you sneeze, keep your mouth open to prevent the air from being pushed out of your nose.

   • If you don't have a humidifier, place a mist-sprayed metal can in a heater to increase the humidity of the air.

3. 

   Absorb more fiber. Constipation is the reason that makes it difficult to have a bowel movement, and the stools clump up, leading to nosebleeds because the blood vessels are stretched. This disease can even increase arterial pressure in a heartbeat and dislodge the blood clot, making nosebleed more bleed. Constipation can be prevented by eating foods rich in fiber and increasing the amount of water in the body.

4. 

   Eating plenty of fiber will help soften stools. During bowel movements, do not try to force because this action will increase the pressure of the cerebral artery, thereby increasing the risk of rupture of sensitive blood vessels inside the nasal cavity.
   • Eating about 6 - 12 dried prunes a day is considered a more effective method than the fiber supplement found in vegetables. And you can also use this to prevent constipation.

Then take one tablespoon of the mixed flour mixture and add about 240 milliliters of warm distilled or boiling water to the mixture. Dissolve.

6. 

   Eat more foods containing flavonoids. Flavonoids are a group of natural compounds commonly found in the citrus family that improve capillary fragility. Therefore, you should consider increasing the absorption of citrus into the body. Other foods rich in flavonoids include parsley, onions, blueberries, and other berries, black tea, green tea, oolong tea, bananas, all citrus fruits, and Ginkgo biloba (ginkgo biloba). ), wine, sea buckthorn, and dark chocolate (with cocoa up to 70% or more).
   • You should not take flavonoid supplements, such as ginkgo pills, quercetin pills, grape seed extract and flaxseed extract pills because they increase flavonoid levels and even cause toxicity.

Advice

• In India, ghee (buttermilk) is often placed inside the nasal cavity and the bleeding stops immediately. This type of buttermilk can be found at grocery stores or large supermarkets.
• You should not smoke with a nosebleed. Smoking causes itching and drying of the nasal cavity.
• Do not use disinfectant cream as some people will be sensitive to the cream and make rhinitis worse. Only antibiotic ointments prescribed by a doctor are allowed to minimize the infection.
• Stay calm no matter how severe the bleeding is. Being calm will keep you from acting wacky.
• Remember to increase moisture, eat a healthy diet, and keep your hands away from the nose area!
• Don't panic if you see too much bleeding making you feel like the bleeding is more than it really is. In fact, that includes other fluids on your nose. We have so many blood vessels on our nose!
• Don't act freakish or go around. Instead, breathe through your mouth and stay calm. This way, your heart rate will drop and reduce blood flow.
