Reply To: Nose bleed during kiddush on shabbos: use a cloth naplin or aleaf of lettuce?

We are maskim that at the kiddush on shabbos, it might be better to use a lettuce leaf to stop a nose bleed then a cloth napkin. What if there is a dollar bill in the tzedak pushka, can I grab it on shabbos and hold my bleeding nose with it?

On one hand, it is paper – not cloth, but it is muktza and tzeddakh?

(Assuming there is no lettuce , or it will make others disgusted if I hold a lettuce leaf to my bleeding nose).
