The symptoms you mention in query are very common .There is nothing to worry and blood probably do not come from nose . There can be two reasons for such symptoms .
First there can be a infection in oral cavity like gingivitis and periodontitis . In this case you should consult dentist for proper examination . Doctor with the help of a instrument known as ' probe ' check the depth of gum pocket to confirm the diagnosis . In this case Doctor may perform oral prophylaxis like scaling and curetage . Doctor may also prescribe antibiotics ( metronidazole ) course and show correct brushing technique .
