A member asked:

How serious is frequent nosebleeds in only one nostril?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Ruben Mesa answered

Specializes in Hematology

Likely a blood vesse: If only from one side a recurrent nosebleed may be from a specific blood vessel bleeding, as opposed to a blood clotting issue. Should have an exam and attempt cautery of that area.
