How to Stop a Nosebleed

You can stop nosebleeds by blocking the bleeding bilateral nostrils with sterilized cotton balls, or by pressing both sides of the nose with your fingers to apply pressure. If such methods fail to relieve nosebleeds, medication and surgery are needed. If patients have nosebleeds, they need to use sterilized cotton balls or bleeding gauze to block both nostrils, or use fingers to press both sides of the nose to stop bleeding through pressure. If the patient’s bleeding is small and the bleeding site is superficial and forward, the bleeding can usually be stopped after 5~10 minutes. However, if the above methods can not improve the situation of nosebleed, it is necessary to intravenous injection of hemostatic agents under the guidance of the doctor, such as phenol sulfonyl ethylamine thrombin, aminomethylbenzoic acid antifibrinolytic arylate and so on, which can have the effect of stopping the bleeding. Some patients can go to the ENT department and take nasal endoscopy to stop bleeding, the doctor will take radiofrequency electrocoagulation or bipolar electrocoagulation to stop bleeding. If the patient has a nosebleed can not stop the situation, you need to go to the regular hospital in a timely manner, relevant examinations, clear causes, and cooperate with the doctor to actively take standardized medication and treatment.
