As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to affect people around the world, new symptoms and complications are being discovered. One of the more surprising symptoms that has emerged is bloody nose.
If you've experienced a bloody nose recently, it's important to take it seriously and get tested for COVID-19 . Here's what you need to know:
Why Does COVID-19 Cause Bloody Nose?
COVID-19 is a respiratory illness that primarily affects the lungs. However, it can also cause inflammation and damage to blood vessels throughout the body, including those in the nose. This can lead to nosebleeds, especially in people who are prone to them or have underlying health conditions that affect their blood vessels.
What Should You Do If You Have a Bloody Nose?
If you experience a bloody nose, it's important to stay calm and take the following steps:
* Sit down and lean forward slightly
* Pinch your nostrils together with your fingers
* Breathe through your mouth
* Hold the pinch for at least 5 minutes
* If the bleeding doesn't stop, repeat the pinch for another 10-15 minutes
If you experience frequent nosebleeds or have a nosebleed that lasts longer than 20 minutes, you should seek medical attention.
