Nosebleeds may be a common thing, but their causes are often unclear. These nosebleeds can also be managed and treated easily at home.
Do not be scared if you get a nosebleed for no reason. Here are reasons you get occasional, bloody instances:

Mucous membrane inflammation. If you have allergies or upper respiratory problems, they could result in nosebleed.
You may have experienced trauma. Nosebleeds are normal after injuries, such as a blow to the head or another part of the body.
The air is dry. Dry air from indoor or outdoor settings can dry the lining of your nose—leading it to bleed.
You frequently pick or scratch your nose. Your blood vessels or the thin lining on the inside of your nose could be injured due to frequent picking.

The next time you get a nosebleed, do not panic. To stop your nose from bleeding, apply pressure by pinching your nose closed just below its tip for about ten minutes. Insert cotton and apply ice to the bridge of your nose. If you are experiencing flu-like symptoms, too, blowing your nose can help stop the bleeding.

ReplyDeleteMy sister is having quite a few nose bleeds for three consecutive days now ranging from very light to almost a stream of blood. The bleeding usually last from a couple minutes to as long as 10 minutes.
Is this still normal? I am really worried.
Thank you for a very precised article.
