What is Nose Bleeding?

Nose bleeding, medically known as Epistaxis, is a common condition where blood flows from one or both nostrils. It can happen in children and adults and is usually not serious — but recurrent or heavy bleeding requires medical attention.

Common Causes of Nose Bleeding

Nosebleeds can occur due to:

• Dry weather or heat

• Nose picking

• Cold or sinus infections

• Allergies

• Injury to the nose

• High blood pressure

• Frequent sneezing

• Use of blood-thinning medications

In some cases, underlying nasal conditions may be responsible.

Symptoms of Nose Bleeding

• Blood from one or both nostrils

• Blood flowing into the throat

• Dizziness (if heavy bleeding)

• Weakness (rare, in severe cases)

What to Do During a Nosebleed?

Follow these simple steps:

1️⃣ Sit upright and lean slightly forward
2️⃣ Pinch the soft part of the nose firmly
3️⃣ Hold for 10–15 minutes without releasing
4️⃣ Breathe through the mouth

If bleeding continues for more than 20 minutes, seek medical care.
