Question 1

What is the correct position for a nosebleed?

Accepted Answer

For most simple nosebleeds, the person should sit up, lean slightly forwards and pinch the soft part of the nose just below the bony bridge while breathing through their mouth for 10-20 minutes. They should not lean back, as this can cause blood to run down the throat and increase the risk of swallowing blood or vomiting.
