Bleeding in the nose usually results from rupture of blood vessels when we sneeze, picking, or blowing a breath is too strong. Infections such as colds also causes blood vessels in the nose tend to be more vulnerable. Bleeding may also occur because of high blood pressure.

Vessel rupture events in the nose can be dangerous if a lot of blood. If the result of head injuries, blood will thin out. This can be very dangerous because it may come from leakage of fluid around the brain.

Here's what you can do:

* Ask the patient sitting, head bowed far ahead. Heads do not get up because the blood can flow into the back of the throat and the patient may vomit.
* Ask the patient to breathe from the mouth (this also gives a soothing effect) and press the bridge of his nose. Please help if necessary.
* Tell him not to speak, swallow, spit, cough, or sneeze because it can interfere with blood clotting process. Provide a clean napkin or tissue to wipe the blood.
* After 10 minutes, remove the pressure on the nose. If the nose is still bleeding, press again for 10 minutes. If the bleeding lasts longer than 30 minutes, take or send the victim to hospital in a fixed position pressing noses.
* After the bleeding can be overcome and the victim kept his head down to the front, clean around the mouth and nose with warm water.
* Suggest to the victim to rest in peace for a few hours and do not exhale from the nose so the blood clotting process is not disrupted.
