Nosebleeds in Albany<\/a> are extremely common and tend to worsen during the summer months when temperatures are warmer.<\/p>\n

They can be frightening, especially for the uninitiated \u2013 nobody likes to see blood gushing from bodily orifices! – but most times they are perfectly harmless.<\/p>\n

Knowing how to treat a nosebleed<\/a> correctly will help you get rid of it more quickly.<\/p>\n

Plenty of factors can cause nosebleeds including injuries<\/a>, infections, allergies<\/a>, high blood pressure, nose picking and inserting objects into the nostrils.<\/p>\n

High altitudes and hot or cold weather can also play a role.<\/p>\n

Should you experience a nosebleed in Albany, sit down and tilt your head slightly forward<\/u>, pinching the nostrils for 5-10 minutes; this should stop the bleeding.<\/p>\n

Do NOT tilt your head back \u2013 doing so can cause blood to flow down the back of our throat, causing irritation and coughing.<\/p>\n

Avoid blowing your nose for at least 15 minutes after the bleeding stops and refrain from picking your nose, going out in the heat or traveling for the rest of the day if possible.<\/p>\n

This will give your broken blood vessels time to heal.<\/p>\n
