Question

I've had a swollen uvula for almost a week now, and it's making me cough a lot because it keeps touching my tongue. Drinking hot tea helps a bit, but only for a short time. I'm in 10th standard, and this is making it really hard to read and study. What could be causing this, and what should I do to feel better?

A high lymphocyte count (lymphocytosis) can be a normal response to infection, inflammation, or stress. Given your: - Lymphocytes: 48% (slightly elevated) - Absolute Lymphocyte Count (ALC): 3312 (within normal range for many labs) It's likely not a cause for concern. However, consult your doctor to: 1. Review your medical history 2. Discuss potential underlying causes 3. Determine if further testing is needed

Question

I'm really concerned because I had tympanoplasty surgery 20 days ago, and my doctor has strictly advised me not to cough for 2 months. It's really hard to avoid coughing completely. I've been trying everythinglike taking steam, drinking turmeric water or milk, gargling with salt water, only drinking hot water, and staying away from cold foods. But I'm still coughing a bit and it's stressing me out. Is there anything else I can try to help with this?

Question

I'm really anxious because I woke up yesterday and tried to clear my throat and when I spit, there was some blood in it. I saw two dark red blobs of blood stuck in the back of my throat when I looked in the mirror. I didn't notice any more blood throughout the day, but then in the evening, another blob was there in my throat and it didn't come out. I'm worriedcould be something serious? Also, my nose is often dry, and sometimes when I clean it, blood comes out. I have burping and acidity problems too. I'm not sure what's going on. Can you help me understand this?

Question

I've been dealing with this dry cough for the past 10 days and I went to see a doctor. They gave me antibiotics and anti-allergy meds, but I'm not seeing any improvement. The doctor checked and said my chest and throat are clear. A few days ago, they suggested I use betadine solution for gargling, but my voice is still blocked and this dry cough just won't go away. Any idea what might be going on or what else I should try?
