Question: What is the best way to stop a nosebleed!?
Answers:
I think you get the general idea from everyone responding!. If for some reason those responses don't work, here is another!. All you need is ice water and a few cotton balls!. Soak a cotton ball or two in the ice water!. Squeeze out most of the water and place the cottonball between your upper lip and gum line!.!.!.just above your front teeth!.

The rationale behind this technique:
Your oral cavity contains thermoreceptors!. Vasoconstriction occurs under cold conditions, therefore by placing the ice cold cotton ball in the gum line should cause the the vessels above and in the nose to constrict!. Thus slowing down or ceasing the nose bleed!. This is also the reason why you get "Brain Freeze" when we eat ice cream too fast!. Good luck!.!.!.!.hope the bleeding stops soon!. Try to post which technique worked for you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Have a tissue to absorb the blood coming out of your nose!. A lot of people do this, but do not lay down or tilt your head back because the blood runs down your throat causing you to swallow it and can make you nauseous!. So with a tissue in one hand, with the other, pinch the bridge of your nose!. Just be patient and eventually it should stop!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

apply firm pressure, also, roll a small piece of toilet paper or paper towel and put under the top part of your lip, directly under your nose, leave it there, for alittle while, it will put pressure to the vessels that lead to your nose, and will clot the bleeder, and will stop the bleeding!. Do not put your head back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Quit picking!.

Or just pinch the top of your nose, apply ice, and kind of tilt your head back, though depending on how bad it's bleeding you shouldn't do that because a lot of it could go into your belly and just make you get sick!. Unless you're a vampire, in which case enjoy the meal!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

take a tissue and hold your nose so the bleeding stops then while you are doing that tilt your head forward not back because if you tilt your head back, the blood will go back into your mouth and then you will have to spit it out and i dont think you want that!. hope this helps!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hold a tisue and pinch your nose to block the nostrils and let the blood drain!.

Like Linsey says, DONT TILT YOUR HEAD BACK!. Your blood will go through your nasal cavity into your throat (because mouth and nose both have an opening to your long) and the blood will go into your throat!Www@Answer-Health@Com

Most people have it right here!. Definitely lean forward!. However do not pinch the bridge of your nose!. You pinch the nostrils together!. Try for 5 minutes!. If it hasn't stopped try another 5 minutes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

DO NOT TILT YOUR HEAD BACK!!! all that will do is make the blood run in a different direction back into your stomach which can make you very sick!. Keep your head up right and roughly pinch the top part of your nose!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Got best answer on this last time!.!.!.!.
Put ice next to your nose on the side that is bleeding!.
Hold tissue under the nose for the blood!.
Don't tip your head back because the blood could be sucked into your lungs by breathing !.!.!.!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pressure, gently squeeze the nose about half way down or a little higher!. You can also put something absorbant in there to apply pressure and soak up the blood too!. Ice can also help slow it down!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Put tissue in ur nose (I know it sounds weird, but it works)
Little enough 2 conceal it, but big enough 2 pull out ur nose!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Pinch your nose and put your head down between your legs as you are sitting!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

stick a tampon in your nose and ice on top!. tilt your head forward unless you want to taste blood sliding down your throat!.

edit: don't know why i'm getting so many thumbs down!.!.!. this is what we used to do in college level sports ALL THE TIME!. The trainers would make us stick tampons up the bleeding nostril, ice on top, and lean forward!. worked like a charm!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Hold your head in the air your nose should be pointing toward the ceiling and wait!. After bleeding has stoped I would suggest you drink a glass of water!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
