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.
Topics | Ear, Nose and Throat | Nose Disorders | Why does blowing your nose cause nose bleeding? The inside of the nose is lined with tiny little blood vessels. When a person has a cold or allergies causing a runny nose the inside of the nose gets red and irritated (inflamed). This swelling inside the nose and irritation causes the thin lining of the nose that covers these tiny blood vessels to thin even more making the tiny blood vessels closer to the surface.
