Nose bleeds: Most commonly nose bleed is of benign nature associated with irritation of nasal tissue. If there is recurrent, persistent bleeding especially with the symptoms she is presenting it is important to look for other reasons that might be causing this problem, for example a platelet disorder. It also might be possible that due to so frequent bleeding she might have anemia. Take her to her doctor asap.
