Question 1

I've been dealing with a sore throat and fever about ten days back. I took antibiotics and got better, but I'm still having this annoying buildup of phlegm and my throat feels irritated. Every time I cough, there's phlegm and occasionally a bit of pain. I'm really looking for something that can help fix this lingering issue. Any advice?

Question 2

I'm usually a really good sleeper, but lately, I've noticed something a bit worrying. When I wake up, there's blood mixed with my saliva. It's only four or five drops, but it's still concerning. I know my blood pressure has been at 130 over 87. Could these two things be connected, or is there something else I should be worried about?

Accepted Answer

One possible cause could be gum disease or gingivitis. To address this issue, you can use a mouthwash containing chlorhexidine to help reduce inflammation and prevent infection. Additionally, you can take Vitamin C supplements to support gum health. Regarding your blood pressure of 13087, it is slightly elevated. You can manage this by making lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake, exercising regularly, and maintaining a healthy weight. It is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.

Question 3

I've had inferior and middle turbinate issues along with a deviated nasal septum for the past 13 years. I'm 22 now and experience nasal blockage at night sometimes in the right nostril, sometimes the left, but never both at once. My sleep is fine though. Should I consider surgery or just live with it? What type of surgery would you recommend, and will I be able to live normally afterward?
