Flonase contains alcohol. Yes, alcohol. That can be very drying and if you read the prescribing information, this intranasal steroid can cause massive amounts of nose bleeds.
Nasacort AQ, Nasonex and Rhinocort Aqua are all intranasal steroids, but do not contain alcohol. So nose bleed rates are lower.
Head to head studies of Nasonex vs. Flonase show that Flonase is more effective.
Head to head studies of Nasacort AQ vs. Flonase show that both are equally as effective, even in patients with severe symptoms.
Rhinorcort Aqua is extremely weak - weaker than even Nasonex. Rhinocort can require a titration dose of 256 micrograms QD, which is a bunch of sprays, to reach maximum efficacy. This will make your script last about 2 weeks. How pointless.
Intranasal steroids are useful because many allergy symptoms are associated with the nose. Headaches, sinus issues are often associated with allergies and these symptoms are more effectively treated with intranasal steroids.

Keep in mind that the leading cause of nosebleed is...digital trauma. (i.e. nose picking...ew)
Everyone already mentioned about nasal sprays and allergies, so I'll throw in a bit about vitamins. If your child is vitamin K deficient (which CFers tend to be) then it may take awhile for the bleeding to stop. This is especially true if the kid is on Advair, Prednisone or an ibuprofen regime for anti-inflammatory purposes. Keep an eye on things and if you think the nose is bleeding too much, talk to the doctor about checking the vitamin K levels.
A less "medical" approach would be to make sure your kids are eating bananas at least twice a week and drinking plenty of water. This will help the vitamin levels, and hydration keeping the mucous membranes more moist.
