Pediatrician, Pulmonology 's  Response
Hi... if it had been occasional nose bleeds you need not worry. But as you quote that literally the blood is pouring out I suggest that she requires evaluation for bleeding disorder.

If the bleeding is always from a particular single nose you need not worry but if the bleeding is from both nostrils and very very frequent definitely this requires evaluation by a experience with paediatric ENT surgeon after bleeding disorder has been ruled out by pediatrician.
