OMG? Please explain!?

Question

Not twenty minutes ago my little brother (he's 12) and me were watching tv,and he touched the tip of his nose and says..."what the..." and then his nose started bleeding really bad....FREAKED ME OUT!

My mom got him a cool towel and some ice and now he's fine. She says he probably got too hot...is heat the source of nosebleeds if not then what is?

Answer 1

It could be the heat or your brother could be anemic. I'm anemic and I get random nose bleeds. If he ever feels weak and shaky, then chances are, it's anemia.

Answer 2

well, if the inside of the nose gets very dry, and that can come from all the heat, it can make the nose bleed. don't worry about it, your brother will be fine.

Answer 3

there are a lot of causes to nose bleeds and heat is one of them, it's nothing to worry about though

Answer 4

So i get a lot of nosebleeds, i usually get them during the winter when the air is really dry, but i get them during the summer too. there are a lot of different sources of nosebleeds... nosebleeds occur when blood vessels in the nose burst theres nothing to worry about unless it doesn't stop

dryness in the air

overheating

chronic drug use... this is probably not the case since hes twelve

the list goes on
