Dr. Harvard shows how to prevent rapid nosebleeds

Nosebleed (nosebleeds) is often a very annoying thing. People often communicate different ways to treat nosebleeds, but most are not as effective as cold compresses on their forehead and neck.

Dr. Howard LeWine instructs how to prevent rapid nosebleeds.

According to Dr Howard LeWine of Harvard Medical School, most nosebleeds are blood flowing from the soft cartilage of the nose. He pointed out a way to stop bleeding faster:

1. Bend your head to avoid blood flowing down your throat.
2. Place your thumb and forefinger on the sides of your nose, right next to the bridge of your nose.
3. Swipe your finger down the bridge of your nose to close to the cartilage.Now push 2 fingers slightly to the side (you can use your finger to gently flick your nose) and gently squeeze.
4. Hold your hand there until the bleeding stops.If the bleeding does not stop or slows down, it means you are not finding the right spot and should try again.Keep it for at least 5 minutes before releasing your hands.
