A member asked:

I have had a cold for a few days now and when i blew my nose today, streaks of blood came with the snot in my right nostril. is it possibly of dryness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Viral URI: Inflammatory conditions which irritate the lining of the nose may initiate minor bleeding. If this continues or becomes increasingly severe you should see a doctor and be examined. Hope this clears up quickly. Best.
