Hi...Nosebleeding is generally due to simple causes like injury due to nose-picking, common cold, allergy etc. Rarely ,it may be due to some blood disorders,drugs, high BP etc .If your nose bleeds again, press it with your fingers. You may also put an icepack. Sit with your head leaning backwards. Do not bend forwards.You can also use a decongestant nasal spray.This will help to stop the bleeding.
If the bleeding persists after 2-3 days, consult an ENT specialist.
