How can i treat epistaxis?

Firm pressure: Just below the bridge of your nose to compress bleeding blood vessels usually does the trick. If they occur frequently, consider whether the air is too dry where you spend most of your time. There are moisturizing nose sprays that may help.

Firmly pinch 20 min: See your doctor if your nosebleed cannot be stopped after 20 minutes of direct firm pressure.
