Nosebleeds

Nosebleeds can be caused by colds and allergies, low humidity, medications such as aspirins, allergies, high altitudes and blowing or picking the nose. Sit up straight and tip your head forward and not backwards, or it may cause blood to run down the throat.Some people succeed by applying pressure to an accupressure spot located between the top lip and the fleshy area just above it. Squeeze with the thumb and forefinger for one minute in this area.Placing an ice pack on the back of the neck seems to help in some cases as well.
