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.
What are the Causes of Nasal Blood Clots and Bleeding. The most common reason for a blood clot to form in the nose after nasal bleeding is a blow on the nose or a nasal trauma. The nose starts bleeding and after some time it clots and forms a plug at the bleeding point inside the nose.
