I got my nosed pierced. How do I slow down bleeding of my nose like 2 days later?

I got my nosed pierced two days ago and if i touch it AT ALL it will bleed alot and im not a nose bleeder at all. And i have to go to soccer and i dont want it to be bleeding all over the place. What can I do to slow or stop the bleeding?

Answer:
If it starts to bleed try placing ice indirectly on the area. This will constrict the blood vessels a slow or stop the bleeding. If you are having any pain do not take asprin or ibuprophen. They will both thin your blood and promote more bleeding.
better see a doctor
I prefer tattoos!!
Sometimes when you puncture the skin (to put various nuts/bolts/hardware in your body) it bleeds.

I might recommend you go see a doctor. You may need to double-check to see if you have an infection that *could* lead to you losing your nose or worse.

Take out the nose ring (which is ugly, anyway, but none of your friends will tell you that) and put some Neosporin and band-aid over the hole
If it still bleeds after 2 days, the piercer did a bad job. Sounds like he pierced through a vein. If you don't want to go to the doctor, go back to the piercer. He's probably had to deal with this stuff before.
I does not sound like it is infected.
