Epistaxis means nose bleeding. Its normally occurs among children and during dry and dogs day of summer. It is very common in most country. I used to watch my friends having nose bleed during my childhood and I did not know what to do. Usually I just called my teacher or elder people to look after her/him. However today I study about it and I have notice minute mistake during its management before. Patient use to bend backward with tissues on their nose as likely to sneeze. It is not the correct position.
The correct position: Just do the manual press of front cartilagenous nose at least 10 minute to allow the pletelet aggregation. Breath from the mouth.
Oh yeah, I almost forget to make her/him calm as panicking just make it worse. Then, one can proceed with cold compression with anything icy before getting into hospital if there is anything serious.
