1. Sit down in a chair with your head held forward not backward. In cases of severe bleeding this will prevent the backflow of blood to the back of the nose and throat and may prevent inhalation and swallowing of blood.
2. Loosen tight clothing around neck, chest and waist and sit close to an open window.
3. Breathe through your mouth not through your nose.
4. Pinch your nose firmly between the thumb and forefinger
5. A cold compress can be applied at the bridge of the nose and at the back of the neck.
6. Make sure you sit very still.
7. If the bleeding is very severe and does not stop after some minutes, you may need to see a doctor.
