Hi
Thanks for writing to healthcare magic.
Bleeding from nose at this age esp after cold is because of dried secretions when picked by fingers, results in bleeding.
Pinching the tips of nose and bending forward should help in control.
Local antiseptics like fusidic cream can help in healing.
But if it persists or increases consult a nearby doc for examination.
