Hi,
Complete blood test should be done to check out hemoglobin, white blood count and platelets. Bleeding must not be present in normal infections.
A test pt/aptt must be performed. If bleeding has happened only once then wait and watch. If second episode happens then go for test and proper check up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Hina Javed
