A 43-year-old male asked:

Can small amount of vaseline in nostril ( to treat dry nose/nose bleeds) cause immediate post nasal drip and hence coughing?

Not typical: That is not a typical response but not worrisome if that is occurring. You may also try a nasal gel like ChitoRhino Nasal gel for a dry, crusting nose.
