What Causes Nose Bleed In A Child?

Hi, My son who is 8 next month has been suffering the occaisional nose bleed, probably one every two months. They are very heavy. I suffered the same thing as a child. Last night he awoke to a nose bleed that came from both notrils. We managed to stop it quite quickly and today he has not felt very well and I took him to the doctors. However, on examination he could not find a place that the blood vessel had popped. Why did both notrils bleed?
