Nose Bleed

(HealthDayNews) -- Is your kid a nose-bleeder?

The American Academy of Pediatrics has this advice for curbing the flow:

• Keep the child in a sitting position with his head tilted slightly forward.
• Squeeze both nostrils between your thumb and index finger for 10 minutes.
• This should stop the bleeding. If it doesn't, call your doctor or go to the emergency room.
