More likely is that you have bronchitis or an upper airway source of the bleeding. Rinse nasal passages with saline. Please follow up with your physician, have a flu and COVID-19 vaccination. If you smoke, try to quit since this does increase the risk of cancer. Discuss a COVID screening test with your physician.
