Hello,

The nose bleeding is normal if you live in a place with dry air. I recommend using a spray and gel to lubricate the nose area. I also suggest using a humidifier at home and drink a lot of liquids.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
