hi,first of all u didnt mention ur brothers age.and does he bleedon one side or both sides.depending on the age there are many causes.in children nosepicking is main cause.if he is a teenager he has to undergo a routine diagnostic nasal endoscopy to evaluate the causes like D.N.S or benign tumours like angiofibromas. dont panic,dont neglect.
