Hi,
Coke doesn't cause nose bleeds. As he had it previously too, I feel that it could be due to the Kisselbach's plexus of blood vessels in his nasal septum which might have ruptured due to nosed picking and this is the most common reason for the nose bleeds.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sumanth
