Depends on reason.: Nose bleed reasons: nasal congestion or nasal dryness, ^ blood pressure, excessive use of decongestants, being at ^ altitude, trauma to nose, nose picking, or blowing the nose hard. Bacterial & viral infections can ^ risk as well as bleeding disorders. Recurrent nose bleeds may be due to broken vessel in the nose. Alcohol / cocaine abuse can cause nose bleeds, as can tumors.

Nose: Drink plenty of water, use a humidifier at night if the air is dry ( like from air conditioning) and use a saline nasal gel several times a day. Best to have the nose checked by an ENT as well
