Flutterbyes Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 forward otherwise the blood runs down the back of the throat... pinch the bridge of the nose tightly as this will help to stem the bleeding hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daven Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Forwards to allow blood to come out - if you put it back you'll get a collection in the throat and a clot forming:gag: Pinch the bridge of the nose very hard for at least 10 mins - apply ice pack if poss.

Daven Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Why an ice pack? the op didnt say it was swollen The coldness shrinks the blood vessels down and reduces the blood flow - slows the bleeding down. Ice shouldn't be applied straight onto the skin though - should be wrapped in a cloth of some kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daven Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Blood always 'goes a long way' - it always looks more than it is ! Well done ! Hope the little 'un wasn't too upset by it all. Encourage him/her to sit quietly for a while - too much running around might set it off bleeding again ! Best wishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
