“Why is there blood from my nose and in my cough?”
I am a 24 year old girl. I suffered a bout of fever around 10 days back. In the last 2 days there is blood coming from my running nose and there are also traces of blood in my cough. I do not have fever now though the throat irritation is still persistent. Should I go for an X-ray to diagnose the cause?

It should clear up in a couple of weeks, wait till then to do anything.

There could be a several causes of blood in the cough and nose. You should seen care as soon as possible. A thorough examination will help determine what may be causing your bleeding and determine if you need a chest X-ray or other imaging.
I’m sorry, this is probably a late answer to your question, but frequently people can have traces of blood from their nose and from their throat due to sinus infection. If this has not cleared up by now, you probably should see your doctor and perhaps be evaluated accordingly.
