I woke up this morning and noticed I was sneezing blood. I didn't have a cold or cough, so I'm a bit concerned. Is this something I should be worried about?

Waking up with blood while sneezing can be concerning, but it doesn't always mean something serious. Here are some key points to consider:
-
Possible Causes: a. Dry air b. Nasal irritation c. Minor injury inside the nose d. Nose picking
-
When to Worry:
- Heavy bleeding
- Lasts more than a day
- Accompanied by symptoms like frequent nosebleeds, bruising, or feeling unwell
-
What to Do Now:
- Keep nasal passages moist with saline sprays
- Avoid picking your nose
- Stay hydrated
-
When to Seek Medical Help:
- If bleeding continues
- Presence of other symptoms like fever, weight loss
- History of bleeding disorders
In most cases, a single episode of sneezing blood without other symptoms is not an emergency but should be monitored. If you’re concerned or if it happens again, it’s best to get evaluated by a doctor to rule out any underlying issues.

View allI've been diagnosed with a perforated eardrum in my right ear, and my doctor recommended surgery. Are there any non-surgical treatments like homeopathy that could help fix this? Also, is it safe to travel by plane with this condition or should I avoid flying?
Mild cases may heal on their own, but larger perforations often need surgery; avoid air travel till cleared.

I've had this throat infection for a few days now, and it's just not going away. It started with pain and soreness, and I took oflox200 for three days, which helped at first. But then, only a few days later, the symptoms came back even worse. This time, I've been on Azithromycin 250 mg, Ofloxacin, Ornidazole, and Levocetirizine for three days, but the pain is still there. I did feel a little better on the first day, but the soreness and pain are back, especially when I swallow. Theres only one day of this course left, and I'm worried because theres no real improvement. Can you suggest another antibiotic that might actually work for me?
Krishna, considering your persistent throat infection symptoms despite completing two antibiotic courses, it's essential to revisit your diagnosis and treatment plan; consult an ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist to rule out other underlying conditions, such as tonsillitis, strep throat, or a viral infection; they may prescribe alternative antibiotics like Amoxicillin-Clavulanate, Clindamycin, or Cefpodoxime, or order further tests like a throat culture or rapid strep test to guide treatment; in addition, maintain good hydration, gargle with salt water, and use throat lozenges to help soothe your throat
