Hi,
Nose blowing is not a good practice in children. It can cause aspiration, sore nostril and risk of spreading the infection to the chest or to sinuses.
As your child has sore nostril, I would advice to give saline nasal drops frequently and avoid nose blowing or nose pricking.
If bleeding from nose persists even after the above-mentioned treatment, then I would advise you to take an ENT surgeon opinion.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
