Simple bleeds that make up the majority of nosebleeds are bleeds from the anterior region. After washing the nose with cold water, the bleeding may stop by squeezing the nose from the outside with two fingers for a while. At this time, the patient should lean forward, not back. In case of bleeding that does not stop, a nasal drop or a cotton swab impregnated with oxygenated water can be placed on the bleeding side. Severe bleeding that cannot be stopped with these measures should definitely be intervened by an ENT specialist.
