Normal / common: Kids commonly get nose bleeds when they are exposed to airborne irritants (smoke, fragrance, fumes, dust, allergens) or dry heat. They often awake with a bloody pillow after rubbing their nose into it during sleep and having a bleed. Nasal saline wash or jells and humidified air help reduce the frequency.Avoidance of irritants is the primary method of prevention.

Nosebleeds: The commonest causes for nosebleeds are picking on the nose, allergies or inflammation from any cause. You should take her to the doctor to have it checked out. Try some nasal saline mist or Bacitracin application. If you have a family history of this you should let her doctor know that as well.
