Try this: Sit up straight and tip your head slightly forward. ... Use your thumb and forefinger to firmly pinch the soft part of your nose shut. ... Apply an ice pack to your nose and cheeks. ... Keep pinching for a full 10 minutes. ... Check to see if your nose is still bleeding after 10 minutes.\ If still bleeding, call ENT doc or go to ER.

Pressure & patience: Pinch all the soft parts of the nose, apply steady pressure for 10 minutes and apply ice to nose and cheeks.
