Hello dear!
This mild bleeding can be due to nasal trauma while nose picking as children do due to irritation during cold and flu and also could be due to dryness again due to cold.
Nothing to worry about if its just a spot but for your reassurance get her CBC and PT/aPTT done ,if its normal then nothing to worry about(which will be normal hopefully) but as a mom i can feel your concern.
The medicines are perfect except ibugesic,Replace it with paracetamol for fever 4-6 hours apart in presence of fever.
Also try some home remedies like 1 teaspoon of honey in a cup of luke warm water and avoidance of cold drinks,ketchups,sour and cold foods like icecream and tamirind etc.
Give him saline nebulizations and steam inhalation preferably to help prevent dryness of nasal mucosa.
Hope it will. Be blessed :-)
