What is the correct way to stop a nosebleed? Proper methods to stop nosebleeds are very important!
When you have a nosebleed, you need to stop the bleeding in time, otherwise it will cause dizziness or turn pale. After the bleeding is stopped, blood must be replenished. Many people may think that a nosebleed is a small thing and they can just stop the bleeding casually. However, if a nosebleed does not use the correct method to stop bleeding, the bleeding may not be stopped. So, what is the correct way to stop a nosebleed? How to stop nosebleeds correctly?
1. How to stop bleeding correctly
First of all, do not raise your head! This is also a method that many people will suggest. But this only makes the bystanders feel better and has no effect on stopping the bleeding itself. Blood is very salty and often causes coughing when flowing through the throat, which is unpleasant and not conducive to stopping bleeding.
Secondly, apply pressure to stop bleeding. Personally, I don’t really recommend inserting cotton balls and tampons into the nose. This is often done for fear of contaminating surrounding objects, so it is blocked first. On the other hand, it can exert some compression and stop bleeding. However, the actual feeling is very bad. If you plug too much, it will feel very bloated. If you plug too little, it will have no effect. If bleeding occurs, This is especially true if the location is higher up. Therefore, if you use compression to stop bleeding, the most effective way is to directly press the nose with your hands.
Third, remove the blood clot. If the same nostril bleeds repeatedly in a short period of time and the nose feels swollen, it is likely that there is a blood clot in the nostril that has not been cleared. At this time, you should first blow out the blood clots like blowing your nose, and then use appropriate methods to stop the bleeding. However, if you have recurring nosebleeds, you still need to go to the hospital to have a look at both Chinese and Western medicine, even though I didn’t understand it at all. But it's not a big problem. I basically haven't had nosebleeds since junior high school.
The cause of nosebleeds refers to acute injuries? Or is the nasal mucosa too thin and the weather dry? Or did you accidentally pick your nose too hard? Or did you eat too much tonic or something that caused internal heat? Or see a beautiful woman? If it is because of this, there will generally not be a lot of bleeding -.-Based on incomplete trial and error experience, let me explain one by one. If it is an acute injury, it is better to go to the hospital as soon as possible. The most irresponsible thing I can tell you is, never use tissues! When paper towels get soaked, they will stick to the wound, making it more difficult to stop bleeding.
If the nasal mucosa is too thin, it is caused by dry weather. Go ahead and buy a humidifier, but I don’t recommend you to “drink hot water to steam your nose” or apply Mentholatum’s mint ointment. It feels good when you drink hot water, but you feel dry after drinking it. For mint ointment, use cotton swabs. Apply the ointment to the inside of your nose. It looks like the inside is shiny and not so dry. The fact is that the mint is too cold, so you will feel uncomfortable and want to sneeze.
