Hi
After an acute episode of cold and cough blood in war may be due to acute ear infection causing ear discharge. In that case such young kid will need antibiotics. watch if it is one time phenomenon or is there an active ear discharge. continue treatment for cold and cough. Avoid water in ear/ any ear picking. If discharge continue see an ENT specialist.
