Nosebleeds

Sit on a chair leaning forward with your mouth open and pinch your nose just below the bone for approximately 10 minutes by which time the bleeding should have stopped. Sometimes a bag of frozen peas in a damp tea towel, or crushed ice in a plastic bag wrapped in a damp tea towel held on the bridge of the nose is helpful. Avoid hot drinks and hot food for 24 hours. If symptoms persist consult your doctor.
