Nosebleeds, Annoying. Options

[creole]

I hate nosebleeds. I get them most of the time in the summer do the climate, but everytime I have a nose bleed, I swear I lose a gallon of blood. It takes about an hour for me to make the bleeding stop.



How do you guys treat your nosebleeds besides ice and tilting your head up? My grandpa uses this special herb thing and puts in my nose and it greatly stops the bleeding in 5 minutes.

I used to get nosebleeds all the time when I was a kid. It got especially bad in the winter when the air's drier.

The first thing I'd always do is take a tissue, rip 1 inch strips from it, roll the strips up and make nostril tampons lmao. Once they're in, I pinch the area of my nose right below the bone, where the cartilage starts. Then I just sit and wait.

I read/heard that ice is good, but I'm usually way too pressed for time ripping pieces of tissue up to get myself some ice, plus one of my hands is always used up pinching my nose.

It usually goes away in <5 minutes, though one time I bled for at least 15 min (it was kind of horrifying). Once I even bled through both nostrils while in line for boarding an airplane in Cuba (long story)

This, word for word.


My longest nose bleed has been (probably) an hour. I was a kid with a pretty f*cked up nose.
