Nosebleeds
- Sit the person leaning forward (not backward: the blood gets swallowed and causes vomiting).
- Pinch the soft part of the nose, just below the bone, continuously for 10–15 minutes without letting go to check.
- If it doesn't stop after 20–30 minutes, was caused by a hard blow to the face, or the person takes blood thinners, get medical care.
