Brief Answer:
Blood work recommendable to find cause

Detailed Answer:
dear patient,

most times nose bleeds are harmless and can be stopped by compression. But if this persists it is importat to rule out any blood problem through taking blood. Also an ENT doctor can check the nose and see if there is any vessels than could be coagulated (as therapy).

For migranes ibuprofene or triptanes are mostly more effective than tylenol.

Hope this is helping you, best regards
