Blow your nose until the clot that keeps the blood vessel open comes out.  After that you will no longer have a bloody nose.\n\nTo prevent nose bleeds, eat plenty of Jell-o.  Gelatin helps coagulate your blood.

The best thing to do is to call your doctor. If you are really in pain and really bleeding alot then go to the emergency room.

When I was in grade school, I used to get nosebleeds frequently. Some of them were real gushers and they could be triggered very easily (a sneeze, blowing my nose, sometimes just spontaneously).\n\nThis went on for years until my family doctor suggested I buy some Vaseline and then apply a little to the membrane inside my nose a couple of times a day. This simple solution solved the problem!\n\nThe membranes in your nose can be very thin. They can also dry out, particularly in dry or cold environments. When it cracks, you get a nosebleed. Even when it stops, if it doesn't get sufficient time to regenerate, you're bound to get another nosebleed. And so the cycle continues. A little Vaseline can break the cycle.\n\nNow vote for Best Answer and go put your finger up your nose! ;)\n\nBest Regards,\nRob

It sounds like Impetigo-a bacterial skin infection from the irritation of the runny nose.  Put some neosporin on it 2 or 3 times a day.  Don't pick at it.  Wash your hands after blowing your nose.  If it does not get better-you will need an antibiotic.

Since there has been a time lapse between the bruising and today, the best thing is to live with it. Perhaps a cold compress might help but that is  doubtful. Sorry for your bruise. Be careful!

Yes the heat dries out the membrane causing nosebleeds, try getting a humidifier for your room.

It may sound very bizarre, but if you are all stuffed up and can't blow your nose4...find a way to get yourself to cry. Either that or the steam from taking a hot shower will get the mucous flowing in your sinuses again so you can blow your nose and get it the infection out of your head as soon as possible. Whatever you do, do not sniffle or snuff as this will cause your ears to back up and get infected also. \n\nAlso, chewing peppermint gum or sucking on mint candy like candy canes helps to clear nasal passages quicker than most cough drops. Hope you feel better soon!

LISTEN TO YOUR BODY.\n\nI have a HORRIBLE cold right now (why else would I be on this site?!) and I realized that this is the one time I feel like my body has control over me, not the other way around. And it's probably because I wasn't taking good enough care of it to keep it going like I was!\n\nThe two most important things you can do are (1) SLEEP, and (2) DRINK...a LOT. I mean like there will be no water tomorrow. If you're like me, you probably get a fourth of what you're supposed to each day. Which means now is the time to make up, because your body is punishing you. :-)\n\nAside from that, take vitamins (that, again, you should be taking every day). Boost up your immune system with things like Vitamin C (OJ!), Zinc, and Selenium. Go with the Nature's Way echinacea if you would like, but make sure to give your doctor's recommendation dibs.\n\nAlso, stay away from work, school, or other places where you might spread your ickyness. Not for too long, but remember there are other people out there (people with kids!) who will be very unhappy with you if you cramp their style by getting them sick.\n\nKeep the foods you eat pretty bland (is this the rationale behind chicken soup and crackers?) so that you don't put your digestive system through the ringer. The key is nice 'n easy.\n\nI am not sure of this, but I was always told to stay away from dairy products (milk, cheese, etc) as they contribute to the production of phlegm. I'm in the draining process now and don't need any more mucus, thank you.\n\nTake the time (when you're not sleeping) to catch up with movies, books, or online shopping (my personal favorite!) to keep yourself indoors. Try to keep your physical activity to a minimum, but depending on how severe your cold is, this might not be a problem. My body protests every time I try to climb a flight of stairs (and I live on the 3rd floor!) so taking it easy is not difficult for me.\n\nThis is just me, but I like to stay away from over-the-counter medication (unless I need it to sleep at night - NyQuil is my legal drug) because I think I can better gauge if I'm getting better without it.\n\nGood luck and feel better!

Find someone else.  I was on that ladder and bumped my head and now I'm in the emergency room trying to get all patched up.  Now if that cute little red-headed nurse will just kiss my boo-boo  and make it all better...;)

after nose cauterisation, you could apply some oragel inside your nose with a qtip. you want it to get a few hours before you try it, and you want to preferably let the doctor's office do this, since this maipulation can cause you to bleed again, the oragel will numb it up for a few hours, an alternate is to apply the same on the outisde of the nose, this may not work though. good luck

Zinc. That'll help you. Also, call your doctor ASAP! There is a nasal spray that can keep you from getting it.

dont take a antihistamine of any kind take some sudafed drink something hot. then tilt your head back as far as you can and count to 30. do not use over the counter nose sprays this will make it worse.  and a antihistamine will clog you up worse just ask a drugest
