I'm a bit concerned about my recovery after having septoplasty and inferior turbinate reduction surgery two weeks ago. My nose has been really dry and painful when I inhale, and it even vibrates when I breathe heavily. Is this something that will get better soon, or should I be worried?

I'm having this weird feeling like my left ear is blocked, but when I check theres nothing inside. It's really bothering me and there's pain whenever I sneeze, yawn, or cough. What could be causing this, and should I be worried about it?

I'm spitting up a little blood when I clear my throat in the mornings. It happens about once a month, and it's not a lot of blood. I dont see any cuts or injuries in my mouth, but my nose is usually pretty congested. Also, my phlegm is kind of yellowish to green. What could this mean? Should I be worried?

as it just happened once its negligeble,and this could be due to pharyngitis or sinusitis orDNS,visit your ENT doctor for evaluation and appropriate management.
