1. Stop the Bleeding

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.
