2. When your nose is bleeding profusely, you can lie down flat on the bed and raise the hand opposite the nostril where the nose is bleeding.

If there is no cotton ball, you can directly put the onion on top of the upturned nostril, squeeze out the onion juice and carefully drip it into the nostril, usually 3 drops are enough, then gently press the nostril with your hand to stop the bleeding.
