Nosebleeds and Potential Risks
The UK National Health Service recommends not tilting the head backward when experiencing a nosebleed. Instead, you should sit leaning slightly forward and apply pressure to the person's nose for 10-15 minutes while breathing through the mouth. Returning the head to the back is a common misconception that can lead to swallowing blood and additional complications. It is advised to avoid blowing the nose, lying on your back, strenuous activity, and lifting heavy objects for 24 hours after the bleeding has stopped. Additionally, avoid hot drinks and smoking during this time.
