Detailed explanation-1: -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.
Detailed explanation-2: -First aid management for nosebleeds Sit the person up straight and drop their head slightly forward. Apply finger and thumb pressure on the soft part of nostrils below the bridge of the nose for at least 10 minutes. Encourage the person to breathe through their mouth while their nostrils are pinched.
Detailed explanation-3: -Nosebleeds First Aid: Slightly bending forward while sitting or standing, avoiding lying down or head tilted back, as this will cause blood swallow and vomiting.
