Hi,
Repeated nose bleeds may be due to upper respiratory tract infection like rhinitis or sinusitis or nasal dryness, etcetera.
He may also be suffering from viral fever. Use Paracetamol according to the body weight. Use water vapour inhalation and salt water gargling thrice a day for 5 days. Continue normal saline nasal spray.
If symptoms do not improve, please consult your ENT specialist who will examine and treat you accordingly.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Penchila Prasad Kandikattu
