Bloody nose

2017-12-12 04:23:28
My nose has been bleeding often on for the past 4 to 6 hours. I am concerned I have even pitched it and put a small tampon in it. I also currently have a bad cold and should I go to the ER?

Usually during common cold because of forced nose clearing small blood vessels inside your nose may rupture which can cause mild bleeding. Usually it will resolve on its own once cold is treated. If your bleeding is persistent and severe then you may need to visit ER
Next Steps
consult nearby doctor for confirmation of diagnosis and appropriate treatment if required
