What causes a headache after a nosebleed?

Headache and nosebleed may be caused by viral infection or bacterial infection. You need to go to the hospital to find out the cause and treat it symptomatically.

How to deal with nosebleed?

The correct way to stop bleeding is to sit upright, tilt your head slightly forward, and then use your thumb and index finger to pinch the nostrils on both sides, which is the widest part of the nose at the bottom, and then breathe through your mouth. Release your fingers after ten minutes. At this time, the bleeding can most likely be stopped. If the first nasal pressure hemostasis is ineffective, it is recommended to apply pressure to stop bleeding for a second time for ten minutes. If the bleeding still cannot be stopped, the patient will be advised to go to the nearest medical institution for treatment. In addition, if a large amount of blood is constantly flowing out of the mouth, it may mean that a larger blood vessel has ruptured, or the bleeding point is located behind the nasal cavity. At this time, it is impossible to stop the bleeding by simple methods, and you should seek medical treatment immediately.

Symptoms of nosebleeds

Most of the bleeding occurs in the bleeding-prone area in the anterior and lower part of the nasal septum. Sometimes jetting or pulsating arteriolar bleeding can be seen. Nosebleeds often occur in this area in children and young people. Nosebleeds in middle-aged and elderly people are often related to hypertension and arteriosclerosis. The bleeding sites are mostly in the posterior part of the nasal cavity, the Wu nasopharyngeal venous plexus near the posterior end of the inferior turbinate and the artery at the posterior part of the nasal septum. Bleeding from this area is generally violent and difficult to stop. The blood often flows quickly into the pharynx and is spit out from the mouth. Nosebleeds caused by local diseases often occur in one nostril, while those caused by systemic diseases may cause bleeding in both nostrils alternately or simultaneously.
