Nosebleeds
Nosebleeds
There are many tiny blood vessels lining the inside walls of your nose.
These blood vessels keep the air you breathe in warm and moist.
Since these delicate blood vessels lie close to the surface, they are
easily injured and cause a nosebleed. The medical name for
nosebleeds is epistaxis.

Next, place your thumb and index _______________________________________________________
finger between the bony ridge and
the end of your nose and squeeze. _______________________________________________________
You can also use a nose clamp.
Do not clamp your nose for more _______________________________________________________
than 10 minutes at a time to
_______________________________________________________
prevent damage to the nose.
You may need to breathe through _______________________________________________________
your mouth.
After 10 minutes, check to see if the _______________________________________________________
bleeding has stopped. If it has not,
hold it for another 10 minutes. _______________________________________________________
This works well in most cases _______________________________________________________
because most of the bleeding starts
just inside the opening of the nose. _______________________________________________________
