To stop a nosebleed: sit down at a table, lean forward 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 – spit out any blood that collects in your throat or mouth into a bowl; do not swallow any blood.

Detailed explanation-2: -Pinch the nose. Keep pinching for 10 to 15 minutes. Pinching puts pressure on the blood vessels and helps stop the blood flow. If the bleeding doesn’t stop, pinch the nose again for up to 15 minutes. Don’t let go for at least five minutes even to check if the bleeding has stopped.
