My sister's nose bleed won't stop?!


Question: My sister's nose bleed won't stop?
My 14-year old twin sister has had a nose bleed for around half an hour... and she says it won't stop. She's used around 6 tissues so far, those Kleenex box ones, not towels. What could this be caused by? Should I be concerned? Thanks!

Nah i used to have them for way longer, just sit her down tell her to pinch the end off her nose and tilt her head slighty forward, if these continue see a specialist to get her nose cautorized.

Its normally caused by a ruptured vein in the nostril, in my case it was from picking my nose as a kid



it could be hemophelia, which is a condition that prevents the blood clotting,if it continues for more than half an hour, then i would go to the hospital, they should give her some meds to stop the blood flowing, hope that helps



if the bleeding ever stops u should most likely get her checked....so yea be concerned
