First Aid
Pinch the child’s nose just below the hard part at its
top to and apply firm pressure for 10 minutes (this is
the amount of time it takes for a clot to form). If the
bleeding has not stopped after 10 minutes, apply
pressure for two further periods of 10 minutes. If
bleeding continues then take the child to hospital.
Once the bleeding has stopped, advise the child not to
scratch, pick, or blow her nose, not to drink hot liquid,
and not to exert herself, because all these activities can
dislodge the clot and cause the bleeding to start again.
HEADACHES
Settle the person into a comfortable position in a quiet
place. Consider medical remedies such as dimming
the lights, applying a cold compress, providing fresh
air, and encouraging sips of cold water.
