I was cleaning my ear with a QTip and think I went too far because it started bleeding. It hurts now, but I can still hear okay. Should I be worried, and what should I do about it?

I've been experiencing this strange issue where during the night, a water-like fluid seems to drip out of my nose, and it's been happening for the past three months. Along with this, I've also been dealing with a persistent cough. I'm starting to get worried and wonder what might be causing this. Could this be something serious or just a common problem that will go away on its own? Any insights or advice would be really appreciated.

I'm dealing with a really bad throat infection and can barely talk because of it. The cough just won't go away, and I've got this annoying throat pain popping up occasionally. It's been like this for the last few days. Should I be worried, or is there something specific I should do to feel better?
