They are more common in children aged 2 to 10 years and people aged 50 to 80 years. Treatment of severe nosebleeds or chronic nosebleeds is highly individualized.

The symptoms of a nosebleed can be like other health problems.

Most patients first come to the emergency room, and the triage nurse should be aware of the importance of enrolling patients with significant bleeding.
