All about Nosebleeds

A nosebleed is common and usually stops on its own. Sit forward, pinch the soft part of the nose and breathe through the mouth for about ten minutes.

Tilting the head back can make blood run down the throat.

If the nosebleed lasts longer than 20 minutes, or happens often, tell an adult and see a doctor. Blowing your nose hard or picking it can make nosebleeds more likely, so try to be gentle.
