Most of us can recall having had a nosebleed. Nosebleeds are common because its rich supply of fragile blood vessels makes the nose especially prone to bleeding.
Nosebleeds usually occur only on one side and are limited in duration.
Irritated or very dry membranes in the nose are often the cause of such bleeds. There is usually no need for special treatment. To avoid dry nasal membranes, humidify the air in your home. Sometimes, the bleeding does not stop within a few minutes. Hold fairly tightly for a full 10 minutes before releasing pressure.
