Can Allergy Cause Sneezing And Nose Bleeds?
my boyfriend has this allergy that comes out in cold-like symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose etc and he suffers from really bad nose bleeds rather alot, not sure if this is connected at all, he gets it mainly when he visits his grandparents and something triggers it off at home and we're not sure what causes it or whats wrong.

Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It is an allergic response. His symptoms are in keeping with allergic rhinosinusitis which is inflammation of the sinuses and nasal passages.
The nose bleeds may be related to the inflammation of his nasal passages.
There are different sources of allergies, common ones are dust, pollen, animal dander, grass, peanut butter, shell fish.
He may want to consider allergy testing to determine what he may be causing his reaction.
Topical nasal steroids and oral anti histamines would help to dampen his reaction.
I hope this helps
