Nosebleeds often occurs in childern. However, adults also may get a nosebleed. What should you do if you suddenly nose bleed?
Nosebleed or epistaxis, is caused by the rupture of a thin membrane that limits the nostril. The blood will be stopped out if it is lumpy. Generally nosebleed caused by a blow or impact on the nose, scrape or remove fluid too hard, hot or humid conditions can also be the trigger.
When nosebleed happens, usually most people will look up to stop the bleeding. This is wrong. Because it is dangerous for people who suffered nosebleed.
