2nd day of nosebleed, same nostril. Both times just a slow drip but took a while to stop completely. Does this indicate anything potentially serious?

Recurring nosebleed in same nostril for 1 year. Sometimes nostril hurts. I've been using vaseline in nostril daily. Could this just be a weak vein?

For 3 years Ive been prone to getting nosebleeds. Always the same nostril, usually 1 every month or two. Is it ok to take 200mg of Advil when I get headaches? Im afraid itll cause a profuse and dangerous nosebleed. Am I worrying too much?

Never had nosebleeds before 4 months ago. Now get them 1-2 times a month, always left nostril. Is it possible a clot never formed the 1st time?
