Question

I've been dealing with nasal blockage for about six months now, and it turns out my turbinates are swollen, at least that's what the ENT doctor said. I caught Covid-19 last year, and I'm not sure if it's related but no medication seems to help. I'm using saline drops to manage the situation, but I'm really wondering if surgery is my only option to fix the swollen turbinates. Also, could allergy shots be a good alternative? And I'm kinda nervous about the surgerydoes it cause Empty Nose Syndrome? I'd love to hear the best advice on this.

Question

I'm waking up really early in the morning and almost immediately start coughing. I went to see the doctor, and they told me everything seems fine, even my CT scan was clear. I'm starting to think that maybe it's because I'm swallowing my mouth water before I brush my teeth. Could that actually be irritating my throat and causing me to cough? It's strange because no one else around me seems to be having this issue. Is there something wrong with my mouth water that's causing this? I'm just a bit worried and can't figure out what could be happening.

Question

I'm really worried because I've noticed blood in my saliva over the last couple of days. Plus, I've had a cough for about three days now. Could this be something serious? What's the likely cause of this?
