Hi doctor,
I am 20 years old. I have had rhinitis throughout my life, so I blow my nose a lot, especially in the mornings. Since last week, I have had a viral infection in my chest and have been coughing and blowing my nose a lot, consequently getting a nose bleed every day after blowing. Is this a sign of damaged vessels in my nose? Will they heal, and this kind of everyday nosebleed will stop? I never had a nosebleed before when I blew. Please help.
Hello,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
Bleeding a few blood drops per nose in your case is common and normal. Yes, there is minimal damage to your nasal blood vessels. This commonly stops when your viral infection ends. You can use vitamin C daily to strengthen your blood vessels and to decrease its fragility.

Thank you doctor,
How long should I expect those nosebleeds to continue? Or how long the vessels take to heal?. So you do not think this is a blood disorder problem.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
The vessels heal once as the sneezing stops. I do not think that this is a blood disorder, but you can perform some blood tests to exclude any bleeding tendency for your assurance. 1. CBC (complete blood count). 2. Bleeding time. 3. Clotting time. 4. Prothrombin time.
