Hi,
Disprin has a typical property of antiplatelet activity and hence can cause some bleeding, enhanced if there is already a pre-existing problem to coagulopathy.
In simple words this can be due to the action of Disprin.
Hence I would advise you the following:
Consult your Doctor immediately to see for the origin of bleeding, any petechial rashes and get investigated for blood disorders particularly bleeding time, clotting time, prothrombin time, liver function tests and tests for Dengue.
Once the cause is found you can get an appropriate management as per the diagnosis.
If you have taken half of Disprin you may be given a full dose to reduce the antiplatelet effect.
Do not forcefully blow the nose or try to expel the mucus as it can cause more bleeding.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
