A nosebleed happens when one of the blood vessels in the lining of the nose bursts. Nosebleeds may be caused by infection, injury, allergic reaction, nose picking or an object being pushed into the nostril. Another name for nosebleed is epistaxis. Bleeding from the nose is common in children and is usually not serious. Seek medical attention if nosebleeds are severe, frequent or prolonged.
1 An allergy which causes hayfever or sneezing can be the cause. 2  Some people have blood vessels in the nose that bleed easily, perhaps in warm dry air, or after exercise. 3  Bumps or falls on the nose are an obvious cause.  Sometimes something has been pushed up the nose, and damaged the blood vessels.
