A doctor has provided 1 answer
Inflammation of the airways and nasal passages may be the source of the scant bleeding. The symptoms should resolve within 10 days and not worsen. Keep nasal passages moist with saline and a humidifier. Drink soothing fluids with honey to soothe irritation of the throat. Watch for signs of worsening cough, fever, and increase in bleeding.
