Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for posting the query
After going through the history, I do feel, you could be suffering from upper respiratory tract infection, probably of viral origin. Do not worry! With appropriate measures this can be taken care of. Bleeding form the nose is due to repeated rubbing of the nose.
My advice to you is:
1. Drink frequent sips of warm water. Adequate hydration reduces the throat irritation, sense of heat in the body and nasal bleed.
2. Do steam inhalation 2-3 times a day - Steam relieves the nasal congestion as well as ear block.
3. Antipyretics such as paracetamol can relieve your body ache and throat discomfort.
4. Try taking over the counter oral decongestants and saline nasal spray.
Hope with the above measures you would get better. Revert back to me if you any follow-up queries.
