Systemic factors: Various febrile infectious diseases, hypertension, heart disease, blood disorders, chronic liver and kidney diseases, nutritional deficiencies, endocrine imbalances, etc.
Advice: If you experience nosebleeds, it is essential to remain calm at all times and avoid panicking, as this may lead to a drop in blood pressure and exacerbate bleeding. If you feel blood flowing into your mouth, try to spit it out to prevent irritation to your stomach. For minimal bleeding, insert a cotton ball into the nostril and press firmly for 5–10 minutes. If the bleeding does not subside, you may extend the duration. Applying cold compresses to the nose and forehead can also help, and using Yunnan Baiyao will be even more effective. If the bleeding is severe or recurrent, seek medical attention promptly.
