Brief Answer:
mostly due to nose picking

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

You are correct!

Nose picking is a major cause of nose bleeds.

Especially when the nostrils dry up due to bad weather.

However you show him to the ENT doctor and also get a blood test done for bleeding tendencies.

Good luck



God bless
