Brief Answer: Pinch the nose Detailed Answer: Thanks for the query The best way to stop nasal bleed is to pinch the nose tight for 5 to 10 min and to breathe from the mouth during that time. I strongly suggest you to approach the ER if the bleeding is not stopping, it will require nasal packing to control the bleeding. Drugs like Botroclot 4 drops into the nasal cavity also helps in stoppage of the bleeding However I would like to add here that bleeding from the nose is not normal and you will have to look into the following aspects 1. Hypertension 2. Drugs causing increased tendencies to bleed like ecosprin 3. Infections I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me I wish you a speedy recovery Regards
