The most common cause of anterior nosebleeds is dry air. A dry climate or heated indoor air irritates and dries out nasal membranes, causing crusts that may itch and then bleed when picked. Colds and other viruses may also irritate the lining of the nose. Bleeding may occur after repeated blowing. When you combine a cold with dry winter air, you have the perfect formula for nosebleeds.
Allergies may also cause problems, and a doctor may prescribe medications such as antihistamines or decongestants to control an itchy, runny, or stuffy nose. This can also dry out the nasal membranes and contribute to nosebleeds.
An injury or blow to the nose may also cause bleeding and isn't usually cause for alarm. If you ever have a facial injury, use the tips outlined above to stop the nosebleed. If you can't stop the bleeding after 10 minutes or you think your nose is broken, see a medical professional right away.
A single nosebleed is rarely cause for alarm, but frequent nosebleeds might indicate a more serious problem. If you get nosebleeds more than once a week, you should see your doctor. Most cases of frequent nosebleeds are easily treated. Sometimes blood vessels inside the nose become irritated and don't heal. This happens frequently in teens who have ongoing allergies or frequent colds. A doctor may have a solution if you have this problem.

A stressful day/week maybe?
A stressful job?
I had a stressful job once with nasty managers on my backside all the time and working long hours!
Changed jobs and get a nose bleed normally only once or twice in 6 month period and thats just blood vessels breaking down to prevent a blood clot (normally get this in the months of hayfever here in uk between may and july)

I have heard it said if your nose bleeds it prevents a brain hemorrhage. But I really think he should be checked out by a Doctor.Because a lot of what you hear are Old Wives Tales.

The cause and the remedy can be found out only after a check up by a competent Doctor. Hurry up, consult with a doctor, earlier the better.

It could be extremely dry air or an irritated nostril. In any case, if it lasts more than a day or two, he should see his doctor.
