Swallon Turbinates And Mild Nosebleeds

I have one sided swallon turbinates on my right nostril and mild ear congestion for months now. My gp thinks it’s non allergic rhinitis but prescribed me an allergy med it keeps the swelling at bay. Last month my nose bled when I picked it and it never stopped bleeding from that exact point (only in the morning sometimes a little during the day) by bleeding I mean when I use a q tip to check there was blood all the time. I visited the ent he cauterized it with silver nitrate it worked but then I did start to pick the boogers again and now it’s bleeding, very little though. I worry that the procedure did not work or there is something sinister going on. Anyone having nosebleeds from congestion?? I also don’t have a runny nose most of the time.
