Hello, my name is Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi. I understand your concern.
Your situation is normal after a severe cold.
Some advices that I can give to you are:
-Put a thin layer of a saline- or water-based nasal gel, such as NasoGel, or an antiseptic nasal cream inside your nose.
-Do not blow the nose or put anything else inside your nose for at least 12 hours after the bleeding has stopped.
-Rest
Hope my answer was helpful, if you have any other questions I'll be glad to help.
Kindly regards,
Dr.Dorina Gurabardhi
