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.
Blowing your nose too hard can irritate the nasal passages through the force of dislodging the mucus or by exposing some of the tiny blood vessels that are located inside of the nose. If you tend to get nosebleeds often, you probably have blood clots in your nose from where the bleeding last stopped. Those blood clots can get displaced, causing the bleeding to start once again. A Cold or Flu. It really isnât the virus itself that causes a nosebleed, but the blowing of the nose.
