Detailed explanation-3: -What to do. To stop a nosebleed: sit down and firmly pinch the soft part of your nose, just above your nostrils, for at least 10 to 15 minutes. lean forward and breathe through your mouth – this will drain blood into your nose instead of down the back of your throat.

Detailed explanation-4: -What is a posterior nosebleed? When the tissue at the back of your nose in your nasal cavity is damaged and bleeds, it’s called a posterior nosebleed. Blood may come out of your nostrils, but blood can also leak into your throat. This type of nosebleed can be serious.
