Dr. Wang Mingxuan
Blood in the nose without active bleeding may be caused by nasal dryness, acute rhinitis, or other reasons. Dry living environments or climates can lead to dryness in the nasal cavity, and nosebleeds may occur after rubbing or blowing the nose. The amount of bleeding is usually small and stops on its own, resulting in blood inside the nose without external bleeding. Nosebleeds caused by conditions such as acute rhinitis or acute sinusitis may be accompanied by purulent secretions and mucosal swelling.
