See if the bleeding stops normally. See if there's any swelling, bruising, or pain on and around the nose. If the child seems okay after 15-30 minutes, I wouldn't worry about it any further. If bleeding doesn't stop or there are the indications above, better see a doctor.

5. ice, and a little pressure |
|
but head back just makes the blood run into the stomach, which can be a sickening experience, to say the least. :puke:

Head slightly back, and breath through the nose to spead up the clotting.
