Answers
sit down and firmly pinch the soft part of your nose, just above your nostrils, for at least 10-15 minutes. lean forward and breathe through your mouth – this will drain bloodinto your nose instead of down the back of your throat.

Although they can be scary, nosebleeds are common in children and usually aren't serious. Most stop on their own and can be treated safely at home. Nosebleeds happen more often in winter and when the air is dry.
What to Do
Have your child sit up with his or her head tilted slightly forward. Do not have the child lean back (this may cause gagging, coughing, or vomiting).
Pinch the soft part of the nose at the bottom of the nostrils for at least 10 minutes.

Get Medical Care if Your Child:

bruises easily or has heavy bleeding from minor wounds
recently started a new medicine
Get Emergency Medical Care if Bleeding:
is heavy
happens along with dizziness or paleness
continues after two or three times of applying pressure for 10 minutes each
is the result of a blow to the head or a fall
Think Prevention!
To help prevent dryness in the nose, use saline (saltwater) nasal spray or drops (or put petroleum jelly on the inside edges of the nostrils), and use a humidifier in your child's bedroom. Discourage nose picking and keep kids' fingernails short.
