Sorry: Questions are not linked. If your nose is really dry it can cause some blood. It could drip down into your throat. Also wiping the top of your roof of your mouth can cause disruption of the tissue and a bit of blood too. I would not worry too much about a little dried blood!

? Viral infections: It appears that you had bad cough and cold due to acute viral infection. It will get better in 1 week and if it does not then you want to see a physician.
