Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your doctor is very right. There is no relation between the drug and the bleeding , though drug can be absorbed even if used locally but this drug does not cause bleeding even if absorbed. She should see an ENT specialist to see if there could be anything local in the nose for the the bleeding, if normal then blood test are necessary to find the cause.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
