Question

I'm thinking about getting my ear wax removed and I'm a little nervous. What's the normal procedure like? Will it hurt? How long does it usually take? And is there anything I should do to prepare beforehand?

Question

I've been noticing for the last three days that when I spit, there's some blood, and it's happening like three to four times a day. I don't have a cough or anything, but honestly, I'm really scared. Someone mentioned it could be blood cancer? Can you help me figure out what's going on?

Question

I'm noticing a bit of redness inside my left nostril. There's no pain, just some irritation, and I've been rubbing it a bit. I recently spent a day in a house that's under construction, and now it's feeling itchy. Could this be something serious that needs me to see an ENT, or is there a simple solution I can try at home?

Question

I'm really worried because it's been over 20 days and I just can't seem to sneeze. The issue began when my coworker jokingly hit me hard on the belly after lunch, and I had stomach pain for about 1.5 days after that. Normally, I sneeze around 23 times a day, but ever since then, it's like my nose starts the sneeze feeling, but my lungs just don't follow through. I've heard that sneezing helps get rid of dust particles at 320 kmph, so I'm concerned there might be serious health problems if I can't sneeze. I've even tried things like dusting the house and sniffing black pepper to bring on a sneeze, but nothing works. Could this just be something time will fix on its own, or should I be doing something specific to help? I'm feeling pretty anxious about it all. Any advice would be really helpful.
