It may be as simple as getting a humidifier for your living area, bedroom, etc.\nAlso, when bleeding, DO NOT look up at the ceiling.\nIce on the neck, yes.\nPinch nose closed, yes.\nLook at the FLOOR.\nBlood trickling down your throat pools into your stomach.\nStomachs don't like blood\nVomiting isn't cool.

Dab a little Vick's Vaporub on the outside of your nose. It helps me.

Use a nasal decongestant before taking off.  Then chew gum.

You can wait and let it go away on its own. Or you can use a sterile nasal saline spray to wash, but that's more of a prevention method than anything else.

Dry membranes in your nose.  we use a cool humidifier in our bedroom.  You can even get a bloody nose without scratching.  Dry skin.

At drug store, buy a bottle of normal saline nasal spray. Use it 4-6 times a day to keep the inside of your nose more moist. Avoid the urge to "pick" at the dry scabby areas. After you use the spray, you may want to use mouthwash, gum, or a mint. It leaves an odd salty taste in the back of your mouth.\n\nAt bedtime, grease the insides of your nostrils with a tiny dab of vaseline. Don't try using hand lotion for this.

Use afrin or some other kind of nosespray. It completely clears your nose for a while and it's basically the best thing ever for a cold. Nyquil works good during the night for me when I have a cold, too.

Psuedoephedrine is the best OTC decongestant available, although honestly the nasal sprays like Afrin do tend to work faster, and are safe for people with high blood pressure. Be sure to not use afrin for more than 3 days or you will end up more congested than you were in the first place.\nKeep in mind that decongestants CAUSE a runny nose, because it loosens up all the gunk that was in your sinuses. If you want the pressure to go away in your sinuses, use a decongestant. An antihistimine like Benadryl will stop the drippy nose.\nYou might also try something with guaifenesin in it to help make the gunk in your sinuses less viscous, and easier to blow out.

Buy some Ocean drops at the pharmacy.  It's just a simple nasal spray saline solution.  Have your son spray his nose every night before bed and several times during the day.\nSpontaneous nosebleeds can be a symptom of a more serious problem, so if the saline spray does not help, talk to your doctor.

Some people use a plain saline nasal spray to open up congestion. My method isn't particularly fast, but it WORKS. I take 4 DEODORIZED garlic tablets right away, and then again every 6 hours for about 2-3 days, drinking lots of water. It is disgusting, but before I know it in about a day to day and a half, the sinus infection clears out (in a tissue.. I told you it was gross). and I can breathe freely again.\nI had to find another way than decongestants.. I can't take them because they can cause a fatal side effect with another medication I HAVE to take.  The garlic tablets have done the trick for me everytime, for about 6 years now.\nHope this helps!

over-the-counter try claritin D, or maybe just a cold medicine to stop the flow.\nIf you can get a prescription try Zyrtec. Works like a charm! \nMy allergist tells me to flush my nose with salt water every night 2 hours before I go to sleep to get all the mucus/allergens out. It really works. You can buy these little bottles at the drug store that come with salt packets and instructions. Ask the pharmacist.

do not worry about it(this is the best thing that you can do)...it all comes natural! It you worry, you are more likely to hit noses or something!

Try getting a Nettypot and flushing out your nasal cavaties once a day or so.\n\nThat helped me alot!\n\nYou can find more information here: http://www.sinucleanse.com/why_product_netipot.htm?link_id=1

1) Wash your hands\n\n2) Get a clean cloth, or preferably, sterile gauze.\n\n3) Lie down with your head elevated.\n\n4) Apply direct pressure (using the clean cloth or gauze) directly on the bleeding site. DO THIS FOR A FULL 15 MINUTES. Use a clock, and avoid pulling off the cloth/gauze to 'peek' and see if the bleeding has stopped.

Breathe Right nasal strips worked wonders for my husband! They are cheap and available at any drugstore. Amazingly simple concept but it works! It's a good start before trying anything more serious/expensive!

You're nose becomes dehydrated and needs to stay moist. You will probably need to use some saline mist up your nose.
