Age? Since when are you having this problem. Is there bleeding all the time or only in morning? Is it fresh blood or just a tinge? Mixed with phlegm? Any pain in chest or somewhere else? Severity of cough etc. I need detail of case. In the meanwhile follow this 1. Do saline gargles daily. 2. Whenever possible do steam inhalation also. 3. Cover your nose and mouth with hanky for at least 30 sec when you go in dusty areas also when you go in and out of ac. As our nose is the most sensitive part of our body, when there is temperature difference between two rooms or inside n outside, then if we not protect our nose, it gets affected. 4. Drink hot liquids --hot liquids relieve nasal congestion, prevent dehydration, and soothe the uncomfortably inflamed membranes that line your nose and throat. 5. Sleep with an extra pillow under your head-- elevating your head will help relieve congested nasal passages. If the angle is too awkward, try placing the pillows between the mattress and the box springs to create a more gradual slope. 6. Treat that stuffy nose with warm salt water-- salt-water rinsing helps break nasal congestion, while also removing virus particles and bacteria from your nose. 7. Blow your nose often (and the right way)-- it's important to blow your nose regularly when you have a cold rather than sniffling mucus back into your head. But when you blow hard, pressure can carry germ-carrying phlegm back into your ear passages, causing earache. The best way to blow your nose: press a finger over one nostril while you blow gently to clear the other. Homeopathic treatment has very encouraging results. Consult online for details.

Breathing difficulty may involve: Difficult breathing Uncomfortable breathing Feeling like you are not getting enough air There is no standard definition for difficulty breathing. Some people feel breathless with only mild exercise (for example, climbing stairs), even though they don't have a medical condition. Others may have advanced lung disease, but may never feel short of breath. Wheezing is one form of breathing difficulty in which you make a high-pitched sound when you breathe out. Shortness of breath has many different causes. For example, heart disease can cause breathlessness if your heart is unable to pump enough blood to supply oxygen to your body. If your brain, muscles, or other body organs do not get enough oxygen, a sense of breathlessness may occur. Breathing difficulty may also be due to problems with the lungs, airways, or other health problems. Problems with the lungs: Blood clot in the arteries of the lungs (pulmonary embolism) Swelling and mucus buildup in the smallest air passages in the lungs (bronchiolitis) Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), such as chronic bronchitis or emphysema Pneumonia High blood pressure in the arteries of the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) Other lung disease Problems with the airways leading to the lungs: Blockage of the air passages in your nose, mouth, or throat Choking on something stuck in the airways Swelling around the vocal cords (croup) Inflammation of the tissue (epiglottis) that covers the windpipe (epiglottitis) Problems with the heart: Chest pain due to poor blood flow through the blood vessels of the heart (angina) Heart attack Heart defects from birth (congenital heart disease) Heart failure Heart rhythm disturbances (arrhythmias) Other causes: Allergies (such as to mold, dander, or pollen) High altitudes where there is less oxygen in the air Compression of the chest wall Dust in the environment Emotional distress, such as anxiety Hiatal hernia (condition in which part of the stomach extends through an opening of the diaphragm into the chest)  Obesity Panic attacks So what can you do about it: Sometimes, mild breathing difficulty may be normal and is not a cause for concern. A very stuffy nose is one example. Strenuous exercise, especially when you do not exercise often, is another example. If breathing difficulty is new or is getting worse, it may be due to a serious problem. Though many causes are not dangerous and are easily treated, call your health care provider for any breathing difficulty. If you are being treated for a long-term problem with your lungs or heart, follow your provider's directions to help with that problem. When to Contact a Medical Professional or Go to the emergency room: Breathing difficulty comes on suddenly or seriously interferes with your breathing Someone completely stops breathing See your provider if any of the following occur with breathing difficulties: Chest discomfort, pain, or pressure. These are symptoms of angina. Fever Shortness of breath after only slight activity or while at rest Shortness of breath that wakes you up at night or requires you to sleep propped up to breathe Tightness in the throat or a barking, croupy cough You have breathed in or choked on an object (foreign object aspiration or ingestion) Wheezing In general or patient with breathing difficulty should undergo the following tests. ECG Echocardiography Chest X Ray Blood tests like CBC kft thyroid profile Pulmonary function test Get back to me with old records & reports for a detailed discussion or individualized advice.

In case many doctors have already seen you and their examination has not been able to find anything serious, you need to rest assured that it not serious. You have stated that rhinitis is the associated problem, that itself can be the basic cause behind such bleeding. When the nose gets congested, you may tend to blow your nose or try to wipe nasal secretions repeatedly injuring your nasal mucus membrane and some small capillary may start bleeding. If your bleeding and clotting times are normal then there does not seem to be a threat. You are perhaps more anxious hence handle your nose a bit delicately. When running or blocked do not blow it repeatedly or rub it with your handkerchief forcefully. If at all there starts a bleed hold your nostrils from outside pinching them tightly for about 7 to 10 minutes. The bleeding must stop. Do not lie down in supine position on your back at such time as the blood may trickle back in the throat and clot there. Take enough vitamin C available from juice of citrus fruits. A bleeder if identified properly in an ENT check up, may be cauterized by the surgeon if required.

Hi post operatively after septoplasty you need to take following precautions *antibiotics for 7 to 10 days *pain killers and anti-inflammatory medications. *decongestant nasal drops for 7 days *normal saline or isotonic nasal drops for as long as it takes to clear your nose. *soft to semisolid diet *diet should be at room temperature. *bed rest for 7 days. *lie in supine position. *avoid nose blowing, hot food, steam during immediate postoperative period. Avoid contact sports and heavy weight lifting. Have plenty of water with veggies and fruits for boosting your immunity and clear your vowels without straining. No strenuous activity should be undertaken now to avoid risk of bleeding. Steam maybe taken later after 3 weeks. Following surgery the nasal tissue edema takes some time to decrease. Take care
