What Is The Treatment For Frequent Nose Bleeds And Headache?

I have been suffering nose bleeds for the past year on and off. The doctor suspected a bacterial infection and prescribed an antibiotic cream both occasions I have been. I had no previous problems with nose bleeds. I have also had mild headaches for the past few months and had small amounts of blood come from my nose daily with larger nose bleeds occurring every few weeks. They normall stop quite quickly. Yesterday I had quite a big nose bleed which actually resulted in me coughing the blood back up aswell. It lasted around 2 minutes with a little blood occurring later on again. Around 20 minutes after I got the worst headache iv ever experienced and was like a pressure headache. I took 400mg of ibruprofen which eventually helped slightly. The headache lasted for around 4 hours. When it was subsiding I noticed a small hard lump in the centre of my forehead near my hairline. This did not hurt or have a mark or redness. It was if I had banged it. This morning the lump has gone. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
