    RealAge answered:
    If you have a nosebleed, a professional should be called if:
    • Bleeding hasn't stopped after 30 minutes of direct pressure to the bridge of your nose; blood runs down the back of your throat even when the bridge of your nose is pinched.
    • The bleeding is caused by an injury and you suspect that your nose is broken.
