Hello. It’s time for an ENT evaluation to assure there isn’t any other reason for your symptoms. Certainly the intubation and the tube being in place can cause irritation causing bleeding but it’s not typical. An endoscopy, imaging and treatment can be helpful to resolve these issues. Once the reason is clearly established a better idea of healing expectations can be shared. Good luck.
