Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have persistent chronic cough along with nose bleeds which could be allergic reaction , injury to the nose, repeated sneezing , upper respiratory infection and medicine like blood thinners. Cough and nasal bleeding can also occur due to sinusitis and post nasal drip. Need not to worry much. I would suggest you to visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. You should go for pulmonary function tests as well to check exact level of infection. You need inhaled bronchodilators and antihistamine drug. Doctor may also order CT scan or nasal endoscopy .You should get X-ray chest done as well to find out exact level of infection. You should avoid intake of cold carbonated liquids. avoid diet rich in fried and oily food. Take soft and bland diet and take onr spoon of honey in glass of warm water twice a day . Take diet rich in multivitamins and vitamin C. You should take cough expectorants as well. You should use mist humidifiers in room.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
