Hi, thanks for your query.
Whenever there is cold, there is congestion in the nose. This may cause bleeding from nose or even blood stained mucous discharge.
If I were your treating doctor, I would have prescribed decongestant nasal drops for 5 days along with a decongestant tablet.
This will reduce the congestion in the nose and also bloody mucous.
Hope my answers have helped you. Thanks.
