Happens every year. I keep it down to about 5 a year by running a humidifier and using saline nasal spray. These 2 things definitely help.

So in my vast experience of handling hundreds of my own, and my kids nosebleeds, I can tell you that the stopping advice above is definitely WRONG in one area. Sitting straight and/or leaning forward is correct, BUT– People (and children) should be TAUGHT how to properly pack the nose with tissue paper. PERIOD. No one wants to sit pinching a nose for 15 minutes. It is uncomfortable and hard to do without fidgeting if you are a kid. It is easy to pull out packing slowly with a TWISTING motion and the bleeding will still be stopped. To insert- Make a tight wad of tissue and use a twisting motion to get it into your nostril– it needs to go in far enough to the point where it almost makes you sneeze. Go about your business even if you wish. I’ve had a nosebleed while working on the truck in the driveway and continued what I was doing with the packing in place. After about 15 minutes, use a slow twisting motion to gently get it out.

I am a senior and never had a nose bleed until a few weeks ago when started on a new cream for squamous carcinoma on my nose and hand. Was told the cream would not do it but the bleeding was severe. Will use this information and hopefully that will be the end of it. Last night I had another but it was not severe. Thank you again.

At 12 y/o I began usin 500 mg vitamin C. Once a year for 2 months (maybe one month could be OK} I eliminated my problem 100%.
