Dr. Mark Loury answered

Specializes in ENT and Head and Neck Surgery

Several: Could be as simple as dryness, viral infection, allergy, blood thinners, bacterial infection, deviated septum, septal perforations, tumors etc. Treatment depends on cause, so if 2-3 weeks of saline rinses followed by 3-4 drops of sesame oil 2-3 times daily don't help then see ent.
