my little sister used to get nose bleeds A LOT when she was younger. she eventually just went to a doctor and they fixed it for her by burning something in her nose, or smthng like that, but she says it was completly painless, and she had it done when she was 5 and didnt even flinch. if it keeps going on, just see a doctor about it.

Hey!
There are different reasons for nosebleeds. I use to have them all the time. then I just would have them when I was getting a cold and when it was about to end. Now I get them every blue moon. Sometimes I can sneeze too hard, or blow my nose to hard and it will bleed.
A nose bleed can also be a sign of high blood pressure. Your body could be trying to help itself. If it's too much to handled and it scares you, there's nothing wrong with going to see a doctor, calling a doctor, or continuing surfing the web for more info.
Peace!

I have the same problem you do. The doctor also burned something in my nose when I was about 5 or 6. That helped for a while but then it started to happen again. I say that if you can go and see a doctor.

Chronic nosebleeds need to be checked out by the doctor to be sure there is nothing seriously wrong. They can be caused by lots of things including high blood pressure or dry air. Make an appointment to see the doc and in the meantime use vasaline routinely to help keep your nasal passages moist and be sure to use a humidfier if it is dry where you live.
