hello brother!
if your allergic rhinitis is acute i believe all you need is symptomatic treatment for that. some naska decongestants. some anti histamines, and some over the counter relieves.
the blood in the mucus . was it fresh or clogged? how was the color? red or coffee ground color like.have you any history of nasal complaints like deviated nasal septum, epistaxis(bleeding nose) etc? if yes then these issues need to be discussed.
and dont worry , if it has been aweek from now its probably nothing. sneezing refelx is very powerful and some times a small blood vessel in the nasal septum blows off because of the pressure. if there is no active complain or repeted episodes you are out of the woods.
now the main active issue is the cold and allergy. changing weathers add to the conditions. little under the weather is normal. just hang on there. use the medicines for relief. some rest. some hot beverages. some tissues and TADA.
to be on the safer road i would advise a complete ENT(ear nose throat) exam and a full blood count specially platelets and PT APTT INR to rule out any bleeding diathesis.
Rest A person 5 feet 7 inches and at the most healthy age pint of 24 years needs nothing to worry about.
cheers
