FIRST AID FOR NOSE BLEEDS

•Keep the patient upright in a

comfortable position and lean

forward.

•Press the bleeding side of the nose

firmly for 10mins.

•Keep an ice-pack or wet cloth on

the nose and the head of the

patient.

•Ask the patient to breathe through

his mouth and not to blow his nose.

•A little bit of bleeding from the

nose is harmless but if the bleeding

is heavy, send to the doctor.
