Pinch the nose just below the bone in the bridge of the nose and hold for five minutes. If the bleeding does not stop, blow the nose to clear the nasal passage on the bleeding side. Pinch the nose again in the same spot. Do not blow the nose to clear the clotted blood once the flow of blood has stopped. Do not remove the blood clots from the nose for several hours.
Ice held on the bridge of the nose can also help stop the bleeding.
A fall or an automobile accident may cause dangerous bleeding inside the body. Watch to see if the victim coughs up blood or if there are traces of blood in the bowels. For bleeding from the ear, get a doctor quickly. Seeing lots of blood can be very alarming. But realizing that you know what to do to stop it can help you be calm.
