Hi welcome to health care magic...

Your son having history of nose bleeding...

Mostly it can be from Nasal trauma or drying of Nasal mucosa secondary to rhinitis...

When bleed occurs pinch nose with thumb and index finger for ten minutes..

If needed rhinoscopy nose examination done and for stoppage of bleeding nasal packing can be done...

Measure his blood pressure also....

It's better to consult otorhinolaryngologist for rhinoscopy nose examination

Take care

Hope this will help you
