Question 1

I'm a 26-year-old and generally in good health, but I've been experiencing blood streaks in my sputum every morning for the past 5 years, especially during the winter or when I catch a cold. I've seen an ENT specialist who mentioned DNS, but I noticed I'm not breathing through my mouth. My X-ray came back normal, and besides a dry and sore throat on those days, there are no other symptoms. What should I be doing about this?

It seems like you are managing your symptoms well. To further address the throat pain, you can consider adding an analgesic and anti-inflammatory medication like Tab. Diclofenac 50mg twice daily after meals for 3-5 days. Additionally, you can continue with the following medications for a few more days: - Montek LC (Montelukast + Levocetirizine) once daily in the evening for a total of 5-7 days - Ambrolite D (Ambroxol + Dextromethorphan) syrup 10ml three times a day for a total of 5 days Make sure to stay hydrated, get plenty of rest, and avoid irritants like smoke. If your symptoms persist or worsen, it would be best to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation.
