Stop the bleeding: Apply firm pressure by pinching your nose. Sometimes, blood drips down the back of the throat with a nosebleed and causes a metallic taste. Leaning forward slightly while you pinch both sides of your nose firmly just below the bony part for 5-10 minutes should help stop the bleed. If you have unusual bleeding at many body parts, see your doctor. If you bleed more than 20 minutes, see urgent care.
