Should I Discontinue Expectorant After Experiencing Nose Bleeds?

I had laryngitis and so purchased an expectorant. I have been taking it for 5 days and it is definately helping. However, I am getting nose bleeds and sores in and on my nose from blowing my nose. I also have a persistent dry cought. I have increased my liquid intake and have been using a humidifier at night. I also drink tea periodically. Should i be taking or doing something else?
