Who hasn't had a nose bleed? Due to the close proximity of blood vessels to your nasal cavity nose bleeds are common and with a little patience can be treated right away. Just sit in a chair, tilted forward slightly with tissue to catch the blood. Placing a cold compress on the bridge of the nose and back of the neck also help to stop the nose bleed faster.
Nose bleeds are commonly caused by dry air, when children are growing fast - and, yes, when picking your nose! If you experience nose bleeds from dry air in your home consider purchasing a humidifier.
If you are experiencing frequent nose bleeds or if the nose bleed lasts longer than 15 minutes it could be a sign of something more serious. Seek help if this is case.
