Another virus: better get your child re-evaluated, RSV and Flu viruses are tested initially to exclude them and to see if your infant needs isolation if admitted together with watching for progression of symptoms and start some specific therapy if needed per case, please check with your pediatrician, probably other households have the same, hopefully it would just be a simple upper respiratory viral infection

Mgt: There may be inflammation or infection of the nasal passages which can cause mild bleeding. If it is more significant, please see your pediatrician. Many viruses may cause the symptoms that your infant has, but most will resolve within 10 days. In the meantime, provide adequate fluids/formula, check her temperature and use nasal saline for babies to keep her nasal passages clear.
