No small inconveniences and potential health risks are nosebleeds. Therefore, it is important, especially in hot weather and winter months, to moisturize the nasal mucosa in order to prevent nosebleeds. Follow these precautions and you won't know what nosebleeds are.

Steps

  1. 1 Reduce heating.
    • The higher the temperature in your home, the higher the likelihood of nosebleeds. Dry air dries out the nasal passages, so nosebleeds cannot be avoided. Reduce the temperature to 15-17 ° C at least overnight.
  2. 2 Get a humidifier.
    • A humidifier will increase the humidity in the air, which will reduce the chances of nosebleeds. Also, a humidifier will reduce the amount of dust in the air, improve air quality, and make the air healthier. Just remember that if you want your humidifier to work effectively, it needs to be cleaned periodically.
  3. 3 Use saline-based sprays.
    • Saline solutions prevent drying out of the nasal mucosa and therefore reduce the risk of nosebleeds. In addition, saline solutions cleanse the nasal cavities, improve the functioning of the mucous membrane. Some sprays contain ingredients that block the growth of bacteria that cause bleeding.
  4. 4 Treat the nasal cavities with a little petroleum jelly.
    • Due to its astringent texture, Vaseline moisturizes the nasal mucosa well. Just don't apply too much of it, or it can clog the passages and you could suffocate. Just apply a small amount of petroleum jelly to the nasal mucosa during a hot period, and nosebleeds will bypass you.
  5. 5 Drink plenty of fluids.
    • Drinking enough fluids will keep you from not only dry nose, but also from nosebleeds. Drink at least 8 glasses of liquid a day and you won't know what dehydration is.

Tips

  • Try not to blow your nose too often. If you still have to blow your nose, then immediately treat the nasal cavity with petroleum jelly or balm.
