For nosebleeds caused by "excessive internal heat," it is best to apply finger pressure to the nostrils to stop the bleeding, while keeping the head lowered and avoiding tilting it backward. Stay calm and relaxed. Most patients can achieve rapid hemostasis through compression. Medical evaluation is recommended. After consultation, tests including complete blood count and coagulation function should be performed to assess for possible blood disorders. Nasal endoscopy should also be conducted to accurately identify the specific source of bleeding within the nasal cavity.
