Detailed explanation-1: -Sit up straight and tip your head slightly forward. Note: Do not tilt your head back. This may cause blood to run down the back of your throat, and you may swallow it. Swallowed blood can irritate your stomach and cause vomiting.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most people’s first reaction to a nosebleed is to tilt their head back to avoid dripping blood. However, experts say it is best to sit up straight and keep your head in a neutral position. A nosebleed (epistaxis ) is a fairly common problem that is often treated at home.
Detailed explanation-3: -Blood can be irritating to your stomach, making you nauseous. Retching or vomiting increases pressure in your nasal cavities and may lead to increased bleeding. Also, do not lie flat or put your head between your knees. Pinch your nostrils.
Detailed explanation-4: -Pinch your nostrils closed. Keep them closed for about 5 to 10 minutes to put pressure on the part of the nose that’s bleeding to help stop the flow.
