Hi, I am Dr. Atul Kumar Nimawat MS ENT
A small amount of blood from one nostril after cleaning is commonly due to minor irritation or dryness of the nasal mucosa. This often happens from vigorous cleaning, nose picking, or dry air. If bleeding has stopped and there is no recurrence, it usually isn’t a cause for concern.
You may use a saline nasal spray (isotonic) 2–3 times daily to keep the nasal passages moist and promote healing. Avoid forceful cleaning or blowing the nose for a few days.
