Health Tip: Coping With Winter Nosebleeds

(HealthDay News) — Wintry climates and cold viruses can lead to frequent nosebleeds, says the National Hemophilia Foundation.

To prevent nosebleeds during winter, the foundation suggests:

1. Use a humidifier to moisturize the air.

2. Use a nasal saline spray or water-soluble gel for your nose.

3. If you have a cold, wipe gently. Don’t clear your nose with hard blows.

4. Avoid vigorous activities after a nosebleed.

5. Don’t pick your nose.
