Nosebleeds occur when a blood vessel in the nose bursts or becomes damaged. In most cases it is not dangerous. Sometimes children have nosebleeds for no apparent reason. Frequent and severe nosebleeds can be a sign of an illness. In this case, the doctor must carry out an intensive examination in order to clarify the causes.
Homeopathic remedies are used primarily when the nosebleed is caused by an injury or when there is a constitutional tendency to nosebleeds.

More tips and hints
If you have a nosebleed, have the person sit down and tilt their head forward to allow the blood to drain from their nose and not choke it. If the bleeding is not too high, the nostrils are squeezed tightly with the thumb and forefinger. A cold rag on the back of the neck helps constrict the vessels to stop the bleeding. If the nose continues to bleed, it is better to see a doctor.
