Wintertime can be nosebleed time for many. Between harsh, dry air and upper respiratory infections such as colds or sinusitis- especially if these infections include repeated sneezing, coughing and nose blowing - nosebleeds are common. Luckily, choosing to use tissue with aloe, or gently patting the interior of your nostrils versus rubbing, can prevent or lessen nosebleeds.
Nosebleeds can occur any time of the year for those who have either allergic or non-allergic rhinitis. The nosebleeds for these conditions occur in a similar fashion to those that stem from a cold or the flu. Sleeping with a humidifier may also help allergy sufferers by preventing over-irritated nasal passageways from drying out during the night.
