You can place a nose pack if the bleeding won't stop!. Tampons will be the best thing to use!. If that is not available, use a gauze!.!.!. insert it inside the nose (keep the gauze long and thin so u can easily insert it!.) Then cold packs on top of your nose will help too!.

Make sure to see your doctor ASAP have it check and know the cause of your nose bleed or epistaxis!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First pinch the bridge of your nose hard, hang your head down (not up, swallowing blood will make you vomit) and wait for 10 minutes!. Do not let up on the pressure!.

Then if it doesn't stop go to the Immediate care center, not the ER!. You will be seen faster and they can do the same stuff for cheaper!. The ER is for emergencies, the urgent care center is for your problem!. They will probably pack it and give you instructions for care!.

Common causes of nose bleeds
1) picking your nose - there are two type of people nose-pickers and liars
2) spending lots of time in the cold doing things like working, exercising, or shoveling snow
3) cocaine and other inhaled drugs - not saying that this is true in your case, just in general!. These substances constrict blood vessels and can cause them to rupture, the chemicals in them damage the skin and mucosa thus causing bleeding!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
