Nosebleed (epistaxis) implies bleeding from a source in the nasopharynx (nose or back of the throat) or from the sinus on the side of the bleed. These areas can be visualized with a specialized instrument (nasopharyngoscope). It would be advisable to arrange an appointment with an otolaryngologist (ear, nose and throat specialist) as soon as possible.

Hello. In an acute setting, at the time of bleeding, if simple pinching doesn’t resolve the bleeding, consider 2 sprays of afrin into the bleeding side after a nose blow to rid the clots. Next saturate a cotton ball with afrin and place inside the bleeding side. Now relax and realize that the clots inside your nose will soon mobilize. It’s not bleeding again, if anxiety spikes, bleeding recurs.
