Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Your problems not required the emergency or you do not need to go to the doctor immediately.
If you have sneezing and congestion of the nasopharynx which cause bloody sputum kindly use, nasal decongestant drops like Otrivin for 3 to 5days.
Kindly do not remove nasal mucus harshly and cause bleeding, use wet cotton to remove the mucus.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Archana
