Small blood in Nasal mucus
I had a cold or nasal mucus since last 1 month. Then after picking the nose, I used to see a little drop of blood in the cold or sputum once or twice a day when clearing the throat or blowing the nose almost every day. At practo doctor told not to pick nose/ clear throat forcefully. Then I don't touch my nose or forcefully clean my nose or throat. But 8-10 days ago automatically it gets fixed. Again 4-5 days ago I got a lot of cold, but yesterday while cleaning my nose with my fingers, I got a drop of blood on my finger, it seems to have been cut by a nail inside. If i clean my nose since yesterday, maybe after cleaning it four or five times, a little drop of blood is coming to the cold. Give some suggestion what can be done

Do not clean your nose with your finger or anything at all. You can blow your nose, but do not insert anything inside the nasal cavities. It will definitely cause trauma and bleeding especially during a cold when the mucosa is all inflamed.
Next Steps
Avoid using your finger or inserting anything inside the nose to clean it.
