Back in the fifties when I was your sons age, I had the nosebleeds for the same reason as your son. The remedy was to recline, tilt the head back (I remember hating the blood running down my throat) and my mom placing ice wrapped in a washcloth over my nose. It didn't take long and the bleeding would stop.
