Pinch the bridge of your nose and lean forward until the bleeding stops. You DO NOT want to lean your head back because you could choke on the blood.

Get a napkin and pinch the nose. Apply cold water on the forehead and lean FORWARD. If it lasts more than 10 minutes, contact medical help!

When you get a nose bleed tilt your head forward, pinch the soft part of your nose, and hold for ten minutes. Use a kleenex to prevent getting blood everywhere. You can also put ice on your nose to help close off the blood vessels.

Bend slightly forward (never backward unless you want to drink your blood), press the nose and wait until the bleeding stops. Take calcium or rutin with vitamin C.

You can also lift up your right hand as if you were raising your hand in school. Placing a cold towel on your forehead works as well.

I make a plug with a tissue and put that in my nose, and then lean forward so that the blood doesn't get swallowed when it goes back down your throat. Never tilt your head back because the blood will go down your throat and into your stomach, causing astomachache

Sit down and lean forward, holding a cloth or a wad of tissues under your nose to catch the blood. The idea is to allow the nose bleed to run its course without letting any of the blood run down your throat.

One way to stop the nose bleeding is tip your head back and relax in a chair. Ice can also be applied to the nose while laying with the head tiled back. Another tried and true method is to apply pressure with your finger to the area between the nose and lip area.
