What Causes Bleeding From Tear Duct And Nose In A Child?

Hello. My 8 year old son has frequent nosebleeds (about once a month) but for the first time there is blood coming from his right tear duct while his nose is bleeding. He often has a stuffy nose and you can hear his breathing because of the stuffiness. Would you know what might cause the tear duct to bleed?

Hi
Tear duct drain in nose . so nosebleed near opening of tear duct may lead to some blood coming out as bloody tear with some block downwards due to clot.
Get advise from ENT specialist for nose bleeds.
Best wishes
