Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have problem of nose bleeds and headache . Well there can be many reasons for symptoms you mention in query like Infection , trauma, including self-induced by nose picking , allergic and non-allergic rhinitis , hypertension , use of blood thinning medications. But in your case it seems to me that the symptoms are due to sinusitis . I would suggest you to take steam thrice a day , take ibuprofen or acetaminophen for pain and apply cold compresses to nose . Consult ENT specialist for proper examination . Doctor may order CT scan , blood test and nasal endoscopy for nasal polyp . Doctor may prescribe antibiotics ( amoxicillin ) , decongestant and expectorant . Do nasal saline rinses .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
