Hi thanks for using HCM.
This may be due to injury caused whilre inserting the tube. If this dont stop on its own then needs examination to see the injured part. Put compression to stop bleeding, dont put any finger or foreign body into nose now and show to your ENT specialist for further management.
Hope this will help you.
