Detailed Answer:
Hii. Nose bleed or epistaxis can be due to any trauma or sometimes it is spontaneous in nature. It may be due to dry weather, nose picking, due to any deviated nasal cartilage impinging on the nose blood vessel. It may be due to allergic inflammation, nasal polyps. You start nasoclear nose drops. Do not pick nose. Do not blow the nose. If it again bleed then lean forward and squeeze and press the anterior part of the nose. If it again bleed you need to visit an entire surgeon and do a nasal endoscopy to see inside of the nose, to look for any polyps or allergic mucin. Then you need to start fluticasone nasal spray. But for now start nasoclear nose drop and drink more water. Later you can do some blood tests like APTT, PT, INR, Hb. Please review if you have any queries.
