I was just wondering when it's safe to start smoking again after having a tonsillectomy. I'm on day 11 of my recovery and I'm feeling way better, with almost no pain now. I even stopped taking pain meds three days ago. Any advice?

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?

As you say it's unusual in that frequency visit ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.

My 13-year-old daughter has been having these blood clots coming out of her nose and she's even coughing them up too. They vary in size from a quarter to bigger than her hand. She had her nose cauterized about a month ago, but it's not helping. She's had this issue before, but it usually stopped within a week after the procedure. This time she's never had clots that she's coughed up. What's going on here and what should we do?

Consult ENT surgeon ASAP to look out the source of bleeding and blood investigations if required

I've been dealing with this ear block on and off for the past couple of months. It seems to get worse when I'm talking at work, but it doesn't bother me at all in the mornings. Any idea what's going on with that? Would love some advice.

You need to get your ear and nose examined .The block could be due multiple reasons which need to be ruled out.
