Suggest Treatment For Cough In A Child

My 4 year old daughter who Is getting over the hsp virus, had a nose bleed in her sleep tonight , and we were worried because when she was in hospital being treated for the hsp a heart murmur was discovered, and she is awaiting open heart surgery in January for atrial ventricle septal defect, and also repair of mitral valves plus a couple of other things.. She has a bad cold and a really chesty cough at the moment too, and we are hoping the pressure from coughing brought on the bleed but would like some reassurance.. Thank you

Hi...it is very rare for a pressure due to cough to cause or induce nasal bleed. But at the same time violent sneezing and blowing of nose and nose picking are definitely risk factors for nose bleed.
