•Have the person sit up straight and lean forward slightly. Don't have the person lie down or tilt the head backward.
•With thumb and index finger, firmly pinch the nose just below the bone up against the face.
•Apply pressure for 5 minutes. Time yourself with a clock.
•If bleeding continues after 5 minutes, repeat the process.
2. Call a Healthcare Provider
•See a healthcare provider immediately if:
•Nosebleed doesn't stop after 10 minutes of home treatment.
•There is so much bleeding that it is hard to breathe.
•The person is taking blood thinners, such as warfarin (Coumadin), dabigatran (Pradaxa), rivaroxaban (Xarelto), fondaparinux sodium (Arixtra), or aspirin, or has a bleeding disorder.
•Nosebleed happens after a severe head injury or a blow to the face.
3. Medical Treatment
•The healthcare provider may use specialized cotton material, insert a balloon in the nose, or use a special electrical tool to cauterize the blood vessels.
4. Follow Up
•Broken noses often are not fixed immediately. The healthcare provider will refer the person to a specialist for a consultation once the swelling goes down.
•The person should avoid strenuous activity; bending over; and blowing, rubbing, or picking the nose until it heals.
•The nostrils should be kept moist with a water-based lubricant or by increasing the humidity in the home.
