Answer 2

A bloody nose can be irritating and also frightening for people who do not get them frequently. Fortunately, a bleeding nose is rarely serious, and the condition is relatively easy to treat at home. If a nosebleed persists for more than half an hour or is the result of serious trauma such as a blow to the face, however, the patient should seek professional medical attention. In addition, frequent bloody noses can be a sign of a health problem, and they should be addressed by a doctor as well.

If you notice a nosebleed, sit down immediately and gently blow your nose to release clots of blood which may be caught inside. Then, tilt your head slightly forward and pinch the soft tissue of your nose, holding your nose shut for around 15 minutes. If your nose continues bleeding after you release it, repeat the process once. Persistent bleeding indicates a more serious medical problem which can be addressed at the hospital with cauterization or packing. These techniques to stop nosebleeds should not, however, be attempted at home, as it is possible to damage the delicate tissue of the nose with inexperience.

Contrary to popular belief, ice or cold objects applied to any part of the body will not effectively stop nosebleeds. While ice can restrict the blood vessels slightly, it does not work as well as pinching the nose. For younger patients, however, an ice pack can be a distraction from the nosebleed, and it can make the experience less scary. Medications and herbal mixes may not always stop nosebleeds either, and they can in fact increase irritation to the nose, so they should be avoided.

Several things are important to keep in mind when you stop nosebleeds. The first is that the nose should be elevated above the heart, reducing the amount of blood flow to the nose. This is why sitting upright is the best position for treating a nosebleed. In addition, you want to avoid swallowing the blood, as this can cause intestinal upset. Leaning forward will allow the blood to drain out the nose and mouth, and patients should be given a basin to spit into so that blood will not trickle down their throats.

Several common things cause nosebleeds. Nose picking, dry weather, trauma to the face, allergies, and excessive use of nasal sprays and medications are common culprits. Many of these things can be addressed or avoided before nosebleeds become a problem, especially dryness of the nose, which can be countered with the application of a small amount of petroleum jelly to the inside of the nose. If you cannot stop nosebleeds or they occur frequently, the cause may be more complex, and the issue should be addressed.

I had the exact same problem until just recently I got my nose done. I can tell you a lot about it. There is nothing wrong with your boyfriend. My nose bleeds happened around the same time, but sometimes they went on for up to an hour and a half. I went to the doctor to see if he could stop my nose bleeds from occuring. Do you have an email I can send you some website information and more that I know. I'm sorry about your boyfriend, I know it's tough to go through. My nosebleeds happened daily for months...ok well I know more could I email you?

Answer 4

Let's not play around with this. Bleeding is a serious matter. Get him over to a serious, trustworthy doctor and FIND OUT what's wrong with your boyfriend. Remember this, What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us? - Romans 8:31. The Lord daily loadeth us with benefits, even the God of our salvation. Selah. - Psalm 68:19. Peace and God Bless.

Answer 5

If he has a lot of bloody noses he should go check the doctor. Maybe he gets these a lot because he picks his nose a lot and he accidently made a cut inside.

Answer 6

what happens is the blood vessel we have in our nose is dry and thin and causes the nose to bleed. what he needs to do is put Vaseline inside of his nose and it will help with bleeding. It works....he needs to continue this process until he no longer has nose bleeds

Answer 7

My Dad and Grandmother have the same problem. It stems from having very thin membranes in the nasal passages. My Dad is able to keep his under reasonable control by using saline spray to keep his moisturized. My grandmother's is so bad and happens so frequently, that she has to go to her doctor's office and have hers cauterized to stem the bleeding! I'm so glad I have NOT inherited this from either of them!

Answer 8

He should go see a doctor immediately. It's possible that he could have a deviated septum, which can be corrected with surgery.

I'd go see his regular doctor who then would refer him to a nose- specialist.

Answer 9

go see a docter and tell him not to put tissue up his nose. use a cloth and pinch the nose

Answer 10

It could be many different things, but you should probably see a doctor.

I wouldn't worry too much about it until you talk to a doctor.
