Detailed Answer:
Hi
Welcome to HCM
Provide information like, what is the amount, how many times it happened, do you have sputum, does it have blood, if no then nothing serious.

Nothing alarming , though to see blood I am sure you are worried . Very common due to dry nose and you should not be picking at the nose . Just make sure it's soft and moist . Nasal saline drops help .

About headache, how long it has been, as you have mentioned about sneezing as well, I think you may have sinusitis or cold that is responsible for it.

I would suggest you to do a stream inhalation with eucalyptus oil two to three times a day for 3 to 4 days and tablet ibuprofen twice daily for 2 days, you should be fine.

Take care.
