Nose Bleed ICD-10-CM Codes

Sneezing a lot due to colds or sinusitis can cause nosebleeds. Allergic rhinitis can also cause nosebleeds. Some medications like aspirin, NSAIDs, and illegal/recreational drugs that require you to snort them can cause nosebleeds, too. Even just being in high-altitude places can cause nosebleeds.

The most basic way to stop nosebleeds is to lean your head forward to prevent the blood from dripping to your throat, breathe through your mouth, and pinch the soft part of your nose against the ridge that forms the nose’s bridge for a while to stop the bleeding.

To prevent nosebleeds, avoid picking your nose or inserting anything solid into your nostrils, don’t blow your nose forcefully, have a humidifier in the room, keep your nasal passages moist, and don’t smoke.
