Thanks for your query. I have gone through your query.
The bleeding from the nostril can be because of the respiratory tract infection or increased blood pressure or secondary to trauma or bleeding disorders. Bleeding following coughing can be because of the negative pressure created during cough. Nothing to be panic, consult a good ENT surgeon and get it evaluated. Mean while get your complete blood investigations to rule out bleeding disorder. To prevent bleeding you can apply pressure over the bleeding spot with a cotton dipped in saline.
I hope i have answered your query, take care.
