You probably are suffering from severe allergic diathesis which may have been exacerbated due to some infection.
The infection generally affects the airways which start form the nose upto the lungs and hence the same infection can cause bleeding through the nose.
Another possibility is that you have some sneezing or runny nose which can also cause some bleeding if tried to clean the nose violently
